Aligned with our existing WFH policies, we look forward to welcoming and onboarding our new team members remotely so that we can make an immediate impact while we explore the opportunity to open an office in Ghana in the future.

Why Ghana?

As a champion for democracy, Ghana is a supporter of free speech, online freedom, and the Open Internet, of which Twitter is also an advocate.

I'm impressed with how much they have thought about some of the logistics here. If you are running a business and trying to learn how to grow bigger, this is something to pay attention to and contemplate.

I'm more impressed how anyone can write that last sentence and not die of laughter. Twitter - the bastion of online freedom and free speech. Whoevers brainchild this is perfected mental gymnastics to mastery.
I'm a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and rape. I routinely speak on such topics in order to educate people and try to advocate for survivors, among other things.

I am routinely accused of being "a rape apologist."

I have no idea if Twitter is really a bastion of online free speech or not. But I do know that if you do anything meaningful in this world, people will drag you for it and one of the most common attacks is to claim you are doing the exact opposite of your intentions, whether that is true or not.

Twitter censors both what you are allowed to post (far in excess of what is legally prohibited), but, more importantly (and the reason I left after a dozen years on the platform) they censor search, too, deciding for themselves that they know better than you regarding what you should be allowed to read.

Twitter espousing free expression is sort of like Google espousing privacy. It's farce, plain and simple.
