Today's Story Highlights

Cisco's Broader Take on Diversity
There should be no argument that we live in a diverse world, and that
the technology industry doesn't reflect that diversity. The lack of
diversity in employees makes it very difficult for companies, both in
and out of the tech market, to address their increasingly diverse
customer base effectively, whether buyers or end users. This has
resulted in books like Technically Wrong .

What Lies Beneath Facebook's Sudden Embrace of Government Regulation
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg called for greater government oversight and
even regulation of the Internet in an op-ed piece published last
weekend. Zuckerberg, who famously built the social network by playing by
his own rules, said it was time for government and regulators around the
world to step up and help rein in the Internet. The main point was to
regulate what he called "harmful content."

Following Protests, Google Cuts Temps, Vendors, Contractors a Fairer Deal
Google has unveiled new minimum standards for temps, vendors and
contractors in the United States, in response to demands from an
employee coalition that included full-time Google staffers as well as
temporary workers and contractors. "Yesterday, we shared an update on
some new initiatives to support our extended U.S. workforce," Google
spokesperson Jenn Kaiser said Wednesday.

goal: engagement. The problem YouTube now faces is how to create an
effective mechanism to handle problematic content, observed Cayce Myers,
an assistant professor at Virginia Tech.
