What is embarrassing about that? Do you think all employees will always agree about what constitutes correct and ethical use of the employer's products? Do you strive for complete agreement of all employees? Or do you welcome critical internal discussion?

- kevinmchugh 10y agoTo be clear, you view individual employees asking if a user is using a product in a way coherent with the company's views and needs as proto-fascism? What about this is fascistic? What line would you like to draw? How would employees know which questions they can ask about product usage without being fired?

We're not talking about a guy who's trying to set up a porn business here. This is political speech. It would be one thing if Facebook banned all political speech, but it doesn't. These are people who want to suppress speech by people who don't share their politics. I understand the impulse, but I think as a society the minimum we can ask of anyone in a position of power (commercial or governmental) is they suppress that impulse.
