There very well may be more to the world, than twitter outrage culture but once this comes for the average joe you are totally fucked and I actively fear that someone at work finds out I listen to Ben Shapiro's podcast because this could easily result in me loosing my job and being deported as a result.
- chasd00 7y agoThis is a very real issue. I shared my screen during a conference call with a browser tab open to a conservative news site. I had to cover with showing how i was opening a link someone sent me in an email to see what they were talking about vs. going there voluntarily. Even then, there was still grumbling on the call and later in Slack I was "casually" asked about what left-leaning causes i support outside of work.
- stOneskull 7y agoThank you for saying. It's like we can't even mention these frustrations sometimes
- andrepd 7y agoGive me one example, one, where somebody in the US was persecuted for listening to a podcast, and didn't subsequently win a court case for wrongful dismissal. You'll struggle to find even one example of that happening at all, let alone one where that did happen and the courts didn't find it illegal.
