VT 24, Alabama 34

“An accountant in NZ has been awarded $17,000 NZD for unfair dismissal after her boss fired her without warning for using uppercase letters in a single email to co-workers. The email, which advises her team how to fill out staff claim forms, specifies a time and date highlighted in bold red, and a sentence written in capitals and highlighted in bold blue. It reads: ‘To ensure your staff claim is processed and paid, please do follow the below checklist.’ Her boss deemed the capital letters too confrontational for her co-workers to read after they woke up from naptime.”

See the CNET story here. Scary stuff. This would give the US Government unprecented control of the US parts of the internet. I would expect this to become a global issue, should it move forward.
