Normally sure, but when politicians are using your platform (paying you) to further their own narratives, it's fair game.

- formercoder 6y agoThat depends on if you are a platform or a publisher.
- purple_ferret 6y ago"I disagree with what this platform I'm working on allows," is a valid statement an employee can bring up and unavoidably political when in reference to political speech or something that is being used to some political end. A section of some arbitrary law from the 90's doesn't define what an employee can be concerned about.
- foobarian 6y agoThat seems like a fine way to state your political stance on the platform. But as has been brought up in other comments and the article, it is not the manner in which the dismissed employee did it.
- jhanschoo 6y agoEven still, there are appropriate channels and using a public platform to personally attack someone is a nuclear option that you should expect consequences on. e.g. government employees initially raise concerns on policy privately, then resign and speak out when the discussions fail.
- nomel 6y agoPersonal politics, and hopefully politics in general, have nothing to do with the policies that result.
