I view: Google's actions in this matter (recrimination against an employee over an internal discussion that leaked), which may be a violation of labor relations, and AirBNB's recent actions in doxxing and banning users, and canceling their reservations over their political affiliation, which may be a violation of housing discrimination laws, as linked. Companies are trying various ways to enforce their chosen behavioral norms upon users/employees. Is this par for the course over the last 70 years and we are just noticing it now? Or is it something new?
