Riley’s plates had expired tags and he was driving with a suspended license.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the course of searching his car, the police found two concealed and loaded handguns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Riley was placed under arrest and the officer took a Samsung smartphone from his pocket. That phone — and everything stored on it — was later searched by the police without a warrant. The contents of the phone were used to connect Riley to gang activity, leading to several charges, including attempted murder. He was sentenced to 15 years to life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.law.stanford.edu/profile/jeffrey-l-fisher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stanford Law Professor Jeff Fisher\u003c/a>, who is Riley’s attorney, explains that police “found photographs and videos of Mr. Riley near a red car — a car that had been involved in an altercation where shots were fired.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His conviction and the warrantless phone search were later upheld by the California Supreme Court, which had previously ruled that such searches are constitutional. Now Riley is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to declare that such searches violate the Fourth Amendment’s ban on “unreasonable searches and seizures.” The case will be heard Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/146960041&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A cellphone is, in essence, a portal into the most private and sensitive information in our lives,” Fisher says. “Our work, our personal life, our banking, our medical records — all the way down the line.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its \u003ca href=\"http://www.volokh.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Riley-cert-petition-final-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">brief to the Supreme Court\u003c/a>, the government contends the Fourth Amendment \u003cem>allows\u003c/em> the search of objects found on someone arrested, including a cellphone. That information, they argue, “is not different in kind from wallets, address books, personal papers and other items that have long been subject to examination.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘A cellphone is, in essence, a portal into the most private and sensitive information in our lives.’\u003ccite>— Professor Jeff Fisher\u003cbr>\nStanford Law School\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Law enforcement groups agree. Richard Littlehale represents the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ascia.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Association of State Criminal Investigative Agencies\u003c/a>, part of a consortium of groups asking the court to uphold these searches. Littlehale says that in the future more and more evidence is going to be found in digital formats. Unless police are allowed to immediately search a smartphone, he says, evidence could be lost forever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to get out there more and explain why we need these records and make our case to the courts and make our case to the public that this evidence is important in our quest to protect them,” Littlehale says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Privacy advocates say the fear of losing potential evidence is overblown, arguing that there are ways to preserve the information on cellphones until the police have a search warrant. They argue that the amount and sensitivity of information stored on cellphones require a higher level of privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to \u003ca href=\"http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/riley-v-california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Riley v. California\u003c/a>, the Supreme Court on Tuesday will also hear a second case, \u003ca href=\"http://media.ca1.uscourts.gov/pdf.opinions/11-1792P-01A.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. v. Wurie\u003c/a>, arising from a 2007 Boston case in which police searched the call log of a flip phone, leading to gun and drug charges. Last year, a federal appeals court ruled that evidence was obtained illegally, the opposite finding to the California case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pervasiveness of mobile phones — nine out of 10 adults in the U.S. have cellphones — make these cases the most important in the Supreme Court’s criminal docket this term, according to UC Hastings Law Professor Rory Little.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These cases have been sort of brewing for years,” Little says. “How’s the Fourth Amendment going to be applied in the 21st century when the framers had no conception of any of the technology that we now have to deal with?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike some issues, Little says, this one may not break along the usual liberal-conservative lines. For example, conservative Justice Antonin Scalia often expresses concern about law enforcement’s encroachment on personal privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, Little says, the court may not issue a sweeping decision. “My prediction is they will move incrementally. They won’t decide a case which then decides every issue for the future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch Scott Shafer’s interview with UC Hastings Law Professor Rory Little and San Jose Mercury News Reporter Michelle Quinn, on “KQED Newsroom.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hEaiqvOutk&w=560&h=315]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/tv/programs/newsroom/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KQED NEWSROOM\u003c/a> is a weekly news magazine program on television, radio and online.

Riley’s plates had expired tags and he was driving with a suspended license.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the course of searching his car, the police found two concealed and loaded handguns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Riley was placed under arrest and the officer took a Samsung smartphone from his pocket. That phone — and everything stored on it — was later searched by the police without a warrant. The contents of the phone were used to connect Riley to gang activity, leading to several charges, including attempted murder. He was sentenced to 15 years to life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.law.stanford.edu/profile/jeffrey-l-fisher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stanford Law Professor Jeff Fisher\u003c/a>, who is Riley’s attorney, explains that police “found photographs and videos of Mr. Riley near a red car — a car that had been involved in an altercation where shots were fired.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His conviction and the warrantless phone search were later upheld by the California Supreme Court, which had previously ruled that such searches are constitutional. Now Riley is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to declare that such searches violate the Fourth Amendment’s ban on “unreasonable searches and seizures.” The case will be heard Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/146960041&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A cellphone is, in essence, a portal into the most private and sensitive information in our lives,” Fisher says. “Our work, our personal life, our banking, our medical records — all the way down the line.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its \u003ca href=\"http://www.volokh.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Riley-cert-petition-final-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">brief to the Supreme Court\u003c/a>, the government contends the Fourth Amendment \u003cem>allows\u003c/em> the search of objects found on someone arrested, including a cellphone.

Richard Littlehale represents the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ascia.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Association of State Criminal Investigative Agencies\u003c/a>, part of a consortium of groups asking the court to uphold these searches. Littlehale says that in the future more and more evidence is going to be found in digital formats. Unless police are allowed to immediately search a smartphone, he says, evidence could be lost forever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to get out there more and explain why we need these records and make our case to the courts and make our case to the public that this evidence is important in our quest to protect them,” Littlehale says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Privacy advocates say the fear of losing potential evidence is overblown, arguing that there are ways to preserve the information on cellphones until the police have a search warrant. They argue that the amount and sensitivity of information stored on cellphones require a higher level of privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to \u003ca href=\"http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/riley-v-california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Riley v. California\u003c/a>, the Supreme Court on Tuesday will also hear a second case, \u003ca href=\"http://media.ca1.uscourts.gov/pdf.opinions/11-1792P-01A.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. v. Wurie\u003c/a>, arising from a 2007 Boston case in which police searched the call log of a flip phone, leading to gun and drug charges. Last year, a federal appeals court ruled that evidence was obtained illegally, the opposite finding to the California case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pervasiveness of mobile phones — nine out of 10 adults in the U.S. have cellphones — make these cases the most important in the Supreme Court’s criminal docket this term, according to UC Hastings Law Professor Rory Little.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These cases have been sort of brewing for years,” Little says. “How’s the Fourth Amendment going to be applied in the 21st century when the framers had no conception of any of the technology that we now have to deal with?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike some issues, Little says, this one may not break along the usual liberal-conservative lines. For example, conservative Justice Antonin Scalia often expresses concern about law enforcement’s encroachment on personal privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, Little says, the court may not issue a sweeping decision. “My prediction is they will move incrementally. They won’t decide a case which then decides every issue for the future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch Scott Shafer’s interview with UC Hastings Law Professor Rory Little and San Jose Mercury News Reporter Michelle Quinn, on “KQED Newsroom.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/4hEaiqvOutk'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/4hEaiqvOutk'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Some photos show how neighborhoods in cities like Tohoku, Japan, looked before and after a 9.0-magnitude earthquake struck in March 2011. Others show the gradual recovery of New Orleans neighborhoods in the years following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.

(Noel Celis/AFP-Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Earlier this week, a large number of interested parties submitted nine\u003ca href=\"http://www.ca9.uscourts.gov/content/view.php?pk_id=0000000725\"> amicus briefs\u003c/a> in support of Google’s petition for a rehearing of a ruling by a 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel, which ordered the company to take down the controversial video, “Innocence of Muslims,” from YouTube.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those submitting the briefs included 34 Internet and copyright law professors, 17 tech companies -- including Facebook and Twitter -- and 18 media companies, including NPR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The briefs all argued that the ruling ordering Google to take down the video violates the fundamental right of online sites to host content that they did not create.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one of the briefs, a large group of legal experts \u003ca href=\"http://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/general/2014/04/15/12-57302%20Amicus%20by%20Internet%20Law%20Professors.pdf\">argued\u003c/a> that the ruling violates a section of copyright law that “provides the legal foundation for many of the most popular websites that enable users to communicate with each other or the world at large.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In essence, they argued that if this decision is not reversed, those who are featured in any video would have far too much power over both the content creators and the content hosts going forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Social media companies, including Facebook, \u003ca href=\"http://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/general/2014/04/15/12-57302%20Amicus%20by%20Adobe%20et%20al.pdf\">stated \u003c/a>that even though they compete with each other and with Google, they unanimously urged the court to rehear the appeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking to its own interests, \u003ca href=\"http://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/general/2014/04/14/12-57302%20Amicus%20by%20Netflix.pdf\">Netflix \u003c/a>stated that despite the “odious” nature of the video, “the panel majority risks wreaking havoc with established copyright and business rules on which all third party distributors, including Netflix, depend.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Floor64, the company that puts out Techdirt, acknowledged the harm that this video might have done to an American actress, Cindy Lee Garcia, whose image appeared in the video in a way she did not permit, but wrote in its \u003ca href=\"http://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/general/2014/04/14/12-57302%20Amicus%20by%20Floor64.pdf\">brief \u003c/a>that honoring Garcia’s copyright “won't make (the video) cease to exist or the matter any less important.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Background\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The video, which was posted to YouTube in July 2012, was produced by a convicted felon who has gone by at least six pseudonyms, and depicted the Muslim prophet Muhammad in a highly negative light. Actress Garcia had a five-second appearance in the video, and said she agreed to act in it under the premise that it was a \"desert adventure\" movie trailer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, according to a \u003ca href=\"http://digitalcommons.law.scu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1662&context=historical\">brief\u003c/a> filed by her lawyer, Garcia said that the producer, Mark Basseley Youssef, had dubbed over her words to make it seem like she called the prophet a pedophile. She was not aware of the changes made to her performance until she received calls from reporters about the controversy ignited by the video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also said she lost her job and has received death threats due to her role in the video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As word of the video spread around the world in the summer and fall of 2012, demonstrations and \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactions_to_Innocence_of_Muslims\">violent protests\u003c/a> broke out in Egypt and spread to other Arab and Muslim nations and to some Western countries. The protests led to hundreds of injuries and more than 50 deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Sept. 11 that year, a group of local Islamist militants launched a brutal attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, killing four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Christopher_Stevens\">J. Christopher Stevens\u003c/a>. “Innocence of Muslims” was cited in national political debates as a possible factor in the Benghazi attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After unsuccessful attempts to have Google remove the video from YouTube, Garcia and her lawyer, Cris Armenta, applied for a copyright to her performance. Reuters reported the response of the U.S. Copyright Office:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For copyright registration purposes, a motion picture is a single integrated work. Assuming Ms. Garcia's contribution was limited to her acting performance, we cannot register her performance apart from the motion picture.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She sued Google, claiming a copyright to her brief appearance, and hoping to win on the grounds that said copyright was violated when her performance was used in a way she didn't intend.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">Internet and copyright law experts nationwide have responded very critically to the decision, voicing the hope that it will be reversed.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Contrary to a district court’s earlier ruling and\u003cem> \u003c/em>the Copyright Office’s decision, two of the three judges on the appellate panel ruled on Garcia’s side, granting her claim on the basis that the producer, Youssef, had violated any license he had with Garcia’s performance when he lied about the nature of the video, leading to real threats against her life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Content of Video 'Beside the Point'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But according to Eric Goldman, director of the High Tech Law Institute at Santa Clara University, and a co-author of one of the \u003ca href=\"http://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/general/2014/04/15/12-57302%20Amicus%20by%20Internet%20Law%20Professors.pdf\">amicus briefs\u003c/a> filed this week, the content of the video is actually beside the point. He said the crux of the ruling is copyright law, and the February ruling establishes a troubling precedent affecting almost all filmmakers and video content creators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goldman outlines the following scenario: An actor agrees to appear in a film, but later decides he doesn't like how his performance turned out, or that his vision differs from the producer's.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under this ruling, an actor could theoretically override the production (i.e., a film) by requiring his performance (no matter how brief) be removed, potentially rendering the production entirely impossible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This same power could theoretically lie in the hands of anyone depicted in a user-generated video on YouTube. And the extra work required by producers to eliminate these types of conflicts could ultimately result in higher costs for media consumers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Internet and copyright law experts nationwide, including Goldman, have responded very critically to the decision, voicing the hope that it will be reversed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goldman said that copyright law should never have been brought into this case at all. Garcia’s concerns would typically have been taken up with the video’s producer, Youssef. Since Youssef was an absentee in the case, Google was forced to step in on his behalf -- another flaw with the case, as Google was not affiliated with production of the video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, the 11 judges of the 9th Circuit are reviewing Google’s request and have until May 7 to announce whether they will hear the case again.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Actress Garcia had a five-second appearance in the video, and said she agreed to act in it under the premise that it was a \"desert adventure\" movie trailer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, according to a \u003ca href=\"http://digitalcommons.law.scu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1662&context=historical\">brief\u003c/a> filed by her lawyer, Garcia said that the producer, Mark Basseley Youssef, had dubbed over her words to make it seem like she called the prophet a pedophile. She was not aware of the changes made to her performance until she received calls from reporters about the controversy ignited by the video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also said she lost her job and has received death threats due to her role in the video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As word of the video spread around the world in the summer and fall of 2012, demonstrations and \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactions_to_Innocence_of_Muslims\">violent protests\u003c/a> broke out in Egypt and spread to other Arab and Muslim nations and to some Western countries. The protests led to hundreds of injuries and more than 50 deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Sept. 11 that year, a group of local Islamist militants launched a brutal attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, killing four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Christopher_Stevens\">J. Christopher Stevens\u003c/a>. “Innocence of Muslims” was cited in national political debates as a possible factor in the Benghazi attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After unsuccessful attempts to have Google remove the video from YouTube, Garcia and her lawyer, Cris Armenta, applied for a copyright to her performance. Reuters reported the response of the U.S. Copyright Office:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For copyright registration purposes, a motion picture is a single integrated work. Assuming Ms. Garcia's contribution was limited to her acting performance, we cannot register her performance apart from the motion picture.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She sued Google, claiming a copyright to her brief appearance, and hoping to win on the grounds that said copyright was violated when her performance was used in a way she didn't intend.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">Internet and copyright law experts nationwide have responded very critically to the decision, voicing the hope that it will be reversed.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Contrary to a district court’s earlier ruling and\u003cem> \u003c/em>the Copyright Office’s decision, two of the three judges on the appellate panel ruled on Garcia’s side, granting her claim on the basis that the producer, Youssef, had violated any license he had with Garcia’s performance when he lied about the nature of the video, leading to real threats against her life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Content of Video 'Beside the Point'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But according to Eric Goldman, director of the High Tech Law Institute at Santa Clara University, and a co-author of one of the \u003ca href=\"http://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/general/2014/04/15/12-57302%20Amicus%20by%20Internet%20Law%20Professors.pdf\">amicus briefs\u003c/a> filed this week, the content of the video is actually beside the point. He said the crux of the ruling is copyright law, and the February ruling establishes a troubling precedent affecting almost all filmmakers and video content creators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goldman outlines the following scenario: An actor agrees to appear in a film, but later decides he doesn't like how his performance turned out, or that his vision differs from the producer's.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under this ruling, an actor could theoretically override the production (i.e., a film) by requiring his performance (no matter how brief) be removed, potentially rendering the production entirely impossible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This same power could theoretically lie in the hands of anyone depicted in a user-generated video on YouTube. And the extra work required by producers to eliminate these types of conflicts could ultimately result in higher costs for media consumers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Internet and copyright law experts nationwide, including Goldman, have responded very critically to the decision, voicing the hope that it will be reversed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goldman said that copyright law should never have been brought into this case at all. Garcia’s concerns would typically have been taken up with the video’s producer, Youssef. Since Youssef was an absentee in the case, Google was forced to step in on his behalf -- another flaw with the case, as Google was not affiliated with production of the video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Mozilla initially defended itself by \u003ca href=\"https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/03/29/mozilla-supports-lgbt-equality/\" target=\"_blank\">publicly declarin\u003c/a>g its \"official support of equality and inclusion for LGBT people,\" but the furor did not die, gaining more momentum after the dating website OkCupid called on its users to dump Mozilla's Firefox browser because Eich was \"an opponent of equal rights for gay couples.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The controversy comes right after another Silicon Valley exec, Jacquelline Fuller of Google, \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/03/world-vision-google-board-member-resigns-gay-marriage_n_5085554.html?utm_hp_ref=religion\" target=\"_blank\">resigned\u003c/a> from the board of World Vision, a Christian aid group, after its U.S. affiliate \u003ca href=\"http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2014/march-web-only/world-vision-why-hiring-gay-christians-same-sex-marriage.html\" target=\"_blank\">reversed a short-lived policy\u003c/a> of hiring Christians in legal, same-sex marriages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Eich's resignation yesterday, KQED's Charla Bear \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/kqed/mozilla-ceo-resigns-over\" target=\"_blank\">spoke to tech pundit Kara Swisher\u003c/a>, who thought Eich's failure to apologize for the donation or to overtly recant his position spurred people inside the company to favor his resignation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Below are some opinions published in the aftermath of Eich's departure. Perhaps the most interesting comes from Andrew Sullivan, a longtime supporter of same-sex rights. Sullivan was fairly scathing in two posts criticizing the pressure put on Mozilla, and which he titled \"\u003ca href=\"http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2014/04/03/the-hounding-of-brendan-eich/\" target=\"_blank\">The Hounding of a Heretic\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The guy who had the gall to express his First Amendment rights and favor Prop. 8 in California by donating $1,000 has just been scalped by some gay activists. ... Will he now be forced to walk through the streets in shame? Why not the stocks? The whole episode disgusts me – as it should disgust anyone interested in a tolerant and diverse society. If this is the gay rights movement today – hounding our opponents with a fanaticism more like the religious right than anyone else – then count me out. If we are about intimidating the free speech of others, we are no better than the anti-gay bullies who came before us.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And in another \u003ca href=\"http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2014/04/03/the-hounding-of-a-heretic-ctd/\" target=\"_blank\">post \u003c/a>...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>He did not understand that in order to be a CEO of a company, you have to renounce your heresy! There is only one permissible opinion at Mozilla, and all dissidents must be purged! Yep, that’s left-liberal tolerance in a nut-shell. No, he wasn’t a victim of government censorship or intimidation. He was a victim of the free market in which people can choose to express their opinions by boycotts, free speech and the like. He still has his full First Amendment rights. But what we’re talking about is the obvious and ugly intolerance of parts of the gay movement, who have reacted to years of being subjected to social obloquy by returning the favor.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Sullivan notes that his \"in-tray is inundated with your dissents.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's one of them, from HuffPost Gay Voices Editor-at-Large Michelangelo Signorile, titled \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michelangelo-signorile/dear-andrew-sullivan-left_b_5088417.html\" target=\"_blank\">Dear Andrew Sullivan, 'Left-Liberal Intolerance' Did Not Bring Down Mozilla's CEO\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>(I)t wasn't the Prop 8 contribution, and Eich's refusal to renounce it, that eventually did Eich in. He was \u003ca href=\"http://commonspace.wordpress.com/2014/03/30/mozilla-is-messy/\" target=\"_hplink\">being defended\u003c/a> by company executives last week and throughout the early part of this week, even as the dating site OKCupid \u003ca href=\"http://www.towleroad.com/2014/03/okcupid-blocks-firefox-users-over-ceo-brendan-eichs-anti-gay-views.html%20Edit\" target=\"_hplink\">had urged users\u003c/a> to boycott Firefox.

They were laser-focused to exploit Californians’ deepest and most irrational fears about gay people, indoctrinating an entire state with cruelly anti-gay propaganda.

While Eich’s 2008 donation is a legitimate cause for consternation – and a worthier one than, say, a quote to a reporter – it’s a worse basis on which to choose a browser than how the company currently stacks up in its treatment of LGBT employees. The best potential effect of scrutiny over an old donation would be extracting concessions on a company’s current policies and politics.CEOs aren’t gods who earn our fealty or identification based on admiration. Rather, they – and more important, the corporations they represent – are economic and political actors who should be pressured to redirect – or, better, redistribute – their power toward progressive ends. \u003ca href=\"http://www.salon.com/2014/04/04/okcupids_gay_rights_stunt_has_its_limits_taking_a_deeper_look_at_the_savvy_ploy/\" target=\"_blank\">Full article\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2014/04/03/brendan_eich_why_mozilla_s_ceo_had_to_resign_over_gay_marriage_views.html\" target=\"_blank\">If You're Against Gay Marriage, You're a Bad CEO\u003c/a> (Will Oremus, Slate)\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The notion that your political views shouldn’t affect your employment is a persuasive one.

Opposing gay marriage in America today is not akin to opposing tax hikes or even the war in Afghanistan. It’s more akin to opposing interracial marriage: It bespeaks a conviction that some people do not deserve the same basic rights as others. An organization like Mozilla might tolerate that in an underling, and it might even tolerate it in a CTO. But in a CEO—the ultimate decision-maker and public face of an organization—it sends an awful message. That’s doubly so for an organization devoted to openness and freedom on the Web—not to mention one with numerous gay employees...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s an even bigger problem for a tech company in Silicon Valley, where competition for top engineers is fierce. Mozilla’s edge over goliaths like Google and Facebook is that it offers employees a chance to work for an organization whose values they can truly believe in. A bigoted boss, no matter how well-meaning, undermines that appeal. \u003ca href=\"http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2014/04/03/brendan_eich_why_mozilla_s_ceo_had_to_resign_over_gay_marriage_views.html\" target=\"_blank\">Full article\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2014/04/mozillas-gay-marriage-litmus-test-violates-liberal-values/360156/\" target=\"_blank\">Mozilla's Gay-Marriage Litmus Test Violates Liberal Values\u003c/a> (Conor Friedersdorf, The Atlantic)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calls for (Eich's) ouster were premised on the notion that all support for Proposition 8 was hateful, \u003cem>and\u003c/em> that a CEO should be judged not just by his or her conduct in the professional realm, but also by political causes he or she supports as a private citizen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If that attitude spreads, it will damage our society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consider an issue like abortion, which divides the country in a particularly intense way, with opponents earnestly regarding it as the murder of an innocent baby and many abortion-rights supporters earnestly believing that a fetus is not a human life, and that outlawing it is a horrific assault on a woman's bodily autonomy. The political debate over abortion is likely to continue long past all of our deaths. Would American society be better off if stakeholders in various corporations began to investigate leadership's political activities on abortion and to lobby for the termination of anyone who took what they regard to be the immoral, damaging position?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It isn't difficult to see the wisdom in inculcating the norm that the political and the professional are separate realms, for following it makes so many people and institutions better off in a diverse, pluralistic society. The contrary approach would certainly have a chilling effect on political speech and civic participation, as does Mozilla's behavior toward Eich.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Its implications are particularly worrisome because whatever you think of gay marriage, the general practice of punishing people in business for bygone political donations is most likely to entrench powerful interests and weaken the ability of the powerless to challenge the status quo.

They were laser-focused to exploit Californians’ deepest and most irrational fears about gay people, indoctrinating an entire state with cruelly anti-gay propaganda.

While Eich’s 2008 donation is a legitimate cause for consternation – and a worthier one than, say, a quote to a reporter – it’s a worse basis on which to choose a browser than how the company currently stacks up in its treatment of LGBT employees. The best potential effect of scrutiny over an old donation would be extracting concessions on a company’s current policies and politics.CEOs aren’t gods who earn our fealty or identification based on admiration.

Opposing gay marriage in America today is not akin to opposing tax hikes or even the war in Afghanistan. It’s more akin to opposing interracial marriage: It bespeaks a conviction that some people do not deserve the same basic rights as others. An organization like Mozilla might tolerate that in an underling, and it might even tolerate it in a CTO. But in a CEO—the ultimate decision-maker and public face of an organization—it sends an awful message. That’s doubly so for an organization devoted to openness and freedom on the Web—not to mention one with numerous gay employees...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s an even bigger problem for a tech company in Silicon Valley, where competition for top engineers is fierce. Mozilla’s edge over goliaths like Google and Facebook is that it offers employees a chance to work for an organization whose values they can truly believe in. A bigoted boss, no matter how well-meaning, undermines that appeal. \u003ca href=\"http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2014/04/03/brendan_eich_why_mozilla_s_ceo_had_to_resign_over_gay_marriage_views.html\" target=\"_blank\">Full article\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The political debate over abortion is likely to continue long past all of our deaths. Would American society be better off if stakeholders in various corporations began to investigate leadership's political activities on abortion and to lobby for the termination of anyone who took what they regard to be the immoral, damaging position?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It isn't difficult to see the wisdom in inculcating the norm that the political and the professional are separate realms, for following it makes so many people and institutions better off in a diverse, pluralistic society. The contrary approach would certainly have a chilling effect on political speech and civic participation, as does Mozilla's behavior toward Eich.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Its implications are particularly worrisome because whatever you think of gay marriage, the general practice of punishing people in business for bygone political donations is most likely to entrench powerful interests and weaken the ability of the powerless to challenge the status quo. There is very likely hypocrisy at work too. Does anyone doubt that had a business fired a CEO six years ago for making a political donation \u003cem>against\u003c/em> Prop 8, liberals silent during this controversy (or supportive of the resignation) would've argued that contributions have nothing to do with a CEO's ability to do his job?
