>That's not what's being done here. We're talking about defunding and banning anyone who has "offensive" opinions.
No we're not. We're talking about reaching out to companies advertising on websites that contain both broadly offensive (e.g. against women) and specifically hateful (e.g. against certain individuals) rhetoric to let them know these ads exist.
>Now we're talking about firms refusing to work with one another based on political differences. Is that REALLY the society we want to become ?
You don't have to get into bed with people you find rude and offensive. That's a cardinal rule of an open society. Saying "Sir, I find your content offensive and I will not pay you to show ads to your visitors" is discrimination in only the sense that companies can discriminate between whom we want to do business with.

The rule is that if you sell to the public you don't get to discriminate. I don't know the details about how that applies in this particular case, but ... It seems an entirely reasonable rule to me.
