Purple Row doesn’t currently have any staff living in California, so it’s not directly affected by the actions described below. But we’ve had contributors and editors from California in the past, and it’s not hard to imagine how Vox Media’s solution to California’s Assembly Bill 5 could have had a major negative impact on the quality of the site so many of us rely on.
