It’s known that Tesla has trouble with leakers within its company. And it seems it’s reached the point where even the warning against its employees to not leak information has been leaked. According to the email sent to staff, it asserted that outsiders have been “targeting” its employees to get vital information to make sure they “see us fail.” The email warned employees that those discovered leaking information will be fired and have charges filed against them. In the past, information like production numbers and internal meeting’s phone number have been leaked.

Tesla isn’t the first company to warn its employees about leaking information. But with company dealing with some financial troubles, it doesn’t want to the leaks to affect the spending habits or perceptions of its customers and investors. It might not solve its troubles, but it would take out one more factor that could affect business.

Instagram tests out ‘like-less’ feed in Canada

We say “like-less” but technically that isn’t what that means. We’ve reported this earlier, but Instagram has started rolling this test out here in Canada recently. The social network is taking away the ability of your users to see how many likes your posts get. What they’ll see instead is they’ll see one username and then the words “and others.” They won’t be able to see the actual number. Instagram says they’re trying this out because they want “your followers to focus on what you share, not how many likes your posts get.” However, you will be able to see how many likes your posts get. Some users online claim this defeats the purpose or essence of Instagram. But what do you think? Would you rather your followers see your “numbers” or just keep that figure to yourself?
