Now, all eyes are on Slack to see how its direct listing performs and if more tech companies follow suit. Reportedly, Airbnb has also been considering doing a direct listing. The New York Stock Exchange set the reference price of $27 per share for the company. The workplace messaging company is the second major company in the past year to skip the traditional IPO route and file for a direct listing, following Spotify’s listing about a year ago.

Slack is going public at a valuation of about $15.7 billion. Some of the company’s employees are also reportedly urging the company to turn off “auto play” for children.

The investigation was prompted by a complaint last year from consumer groups that accused YouTube of illegally gathering data about children under 13 without their parents’ approval and showing children inappropriate videos. YouTube is reportedly considering moving all children’s content into its separate YouTube Kids app to “better protect young viewers from objectionable videos.” The Wall Street Journal’s Rob Copeland called it a “seismic and risky switch, as children’s videos are among the most popular on the platform and carry millions of dollars in advertising.” The changes are partly motivated by a continuing Federal Trade Commission investigation, according to the Journal’s sources. Day-to-day, workers described “a filthy workplace in which they regularly find pubic hair and other bodily waste at their work stations” and said that management would “laugh off or ignore sexual harassment and threats of violence.” One employee died of a heart attack on the job. The office, run by third-party contractor firm Cognizant, is described as a hellish environment of nonstop stress and inadequate support for employees. The Verge’s Casey Newton, who first reported on the working conditions of Facebook’s content moderators in February, took a deep dive at the daily lives of workers at another content moderation site in Tampa, Florida. Facebook’s content moderators shared their traumatic experiences sifting through the internet’s violent content.
