there absolutely have been incidents where peeps have been fired for ish they posted on social media, you're 100% correct. like racist rants and verbally abusive behavior towards others.
I don't see any problem with that, freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences
it's a logical fallacy to equate those incidents with the particular bit of nonsense at (non)issue in this thread
just telling it like it is  |
isn't that contradictory? if there are dire consequences, is it really "freedom"? if I know my life will be ruined over speaking my mind, am I really "free" to do it? it seems my right to free speech is suppressed in this case? perhaps not directly by government, they would have locked me up for it, but by society, they will just ruin my life instead (which is only marginally better than getting thrown in jail)..
