It's part of the new push by corporations and organizations to subvert the law to appease their own ideologies. Despite there being no legal precendence or requirement for things to happen, those in authority positions are more than happy to silence those that disagree with their expectations. It is a direct result of cancel culture and deplatforming - if everyone assumed the best of intentions until explicit circumstances demonstrating otherwise, we wouldn't be in this mess - everyone would go about their day as normal as there are no laws requiring you to do or penalizing anyone for the things people are deplatformed over in this day and age. But when power comes into the mix, and as our culture has inflated the value of ideologies, those with power stand more to gain by taking the nuclear approach.
- kevingadd 7y agoWhat makes you think this has anything to do with "cancel culture"? Corporations have been punishing people for speech like this for decades.
- erikpukinskis 7y agoIt’s not a “new push”. Hippies for example have never been tolerated in business, outside Vermont. It’s just that some ideas that were considered normal in the corporate world are being questioned for the first time in a long time. The idea that “everyone used to be able to say whatever they wanted without consequences!” is a little absurd if you think about it for a minute.
