We continue to allow corporations to become governments in and of themselves, and to take actions that protect themselves, or push a set of goals that are synonymous with the CEOs intentions, at the cost of individual liberties. They've stretched this so that things that are clearly legal outside of work hours, and in the privacy of ones own home is cause for termination, while things that are clearly illegal in any context cannot be remedied under due process.
Western civilization literally fought wars to get a set of balances in place around free speech, religion, anti-discrimination, and freedom to pursue "happiness".
We should be very very cautious about letting companies this amount of power, especially Google and Facebook, which have shown no issues terminating people's employment, and taking corporate actions that threaten democracy for their leaderships person benefits.
