Peter Humphrey, a British corporate investigator and former journalist who accesses LinkedIn from his home in Surrey, England, said he received notification from LinkedIn last month that comments he had published on the platform had been removed. The comments, seen by Bloomberg News, called the Chinese government a “repressive dictatorship” and criticized the country’s state media organizations as “propaganda mouthpieces.”

FCC approves $7 billion to get better equipment to remote learners
The new fund will use processes already in use by the E-Rate program, which currently helps schools and libraries pay for broadband internet.
