Campbell’s (NASDAQ: CPB) stock crashed more than 3% on Monday, November 24, after a former employee alleged in a lawsuit that the vice president and chief information security officer, Martin Bally, was mocking “poor people,” ridiculing the company’s products, and making racist comments about colleagues.

The accusations center on an audio recording that allegedly contains proof not only of a hostile work environment but also the firing of the whistleblower who reported the incident. Moreover, the executive’s comments on “bioengineered meat that came from a 3-D printer” have also sparked a lot of controversy among environmentally conscious investors.

Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) is allegedly low on cash for new investments, after a multi-year spending spree on the games and esports sectors.

As well as the megaton purchase of EA, the games industry has significant exposure to Saudi Arabia; the Public Investment Fund owns Savvy Games Group, which in turn is the parent of Monopoly Go maker Scopely and Niantic of Pokémon Go fame. That's on top of the PIF's stakes in a number of developers and publishers. This includes Capcom, Nexon, Embracer Group, Nintendo and Take-Two, in addition to significant investments in esports.

IWGB Union boss accuses company of "trying to govern by fear"

[A new report claims the firing of 34 developers by Rockstar Games for alleged "gross misconduct" followed a Discord discussion which cited emails about changes to the company's internal Slack policies.

A new transparency feature on X has ignited a political firestorm after screenshots circulated online claiming the US Department of Homeland Security's official account was listed as being based in Israel. The tool, which appeared over the weekend, lets users view an account's current or previous location by tapping the join-date field. While designed to expose foreign-run troll farms, many of which masquerade as American political voices, it instead triggered a wave of speculation about high-profile accounts, including a series of MAGA-branded profiles that appeared to originate from Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa.

Meta allegedly gave accounts engaged in the “trafficking of humans for sex” 16 chances before suspending them, according to testimony from the company’s former head of safety and well-being, Vaishnavi Jayakumar. The testimony — along with several other claims that Meta ignored problems if they increased engagement — surfaced in an unredacted court filing related to a social media child safety lawsuit filed by school districts across the country.

The complaint, Garza v. Campbell Soup Company, case number 25-018465-CD, was filed on November 20, 2025, by the Runyan Law Group on behalf of plaintiff Robert Garza. The defendants are Campbell Soup Company and supervisor J.D. Aupperle.

The claims—centered on a secretly recorded tirade in which a senior vice president allegedly mocked the company’s products, its customers, and Indian employees—challenge the credibility of Campbell’s public values and highlight broader concerns about how corporations handle discrimination complaints.

Starting Friday, X users were able to use a new “about this account” feature to see what country accounts were based in. And for many “America First” posters, this revealed an inconvenient truth, as reported by The Daily Beast.

For example, one account literally named “America First”—with 67,000 followers—seems to be based not in the U.S., but in Bangladesh.

Another popular conservative account, MAGA Nation, with nearly 400,000 followers and a bio that reads, “Standing strong with President Trump 🇺🇸 | America First | Patriot Voice for We The People,” is apparently based in Eastern Europe.
