From Chicagoist:
Chicago is still America’s most segregated city: 

A report from the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research found that while Chicago has experienced significant decline in racial segregation in the past decade, it still remains the most segregated city in the United States. The Sun Times reports the study, conducted by professors from Harvard and Duke, both fellows at a conservative think tank, examined data dating all the way back to 1890 and found that cities in America are more integrated than any time since 1910. The report also found that “all white neighborhoods are effectively extinct.”

What are your thoughts on the study? Is Chicago really the most segregated city in the U.S.?

Under what conditions (if any) should authorities be able to restrict social media/cell phone networks?
