- raxxorrax 5y agoThe principle does very well exclude repercussions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech Of course that does not mean that companies don't violate the principle in favor of PR. But in a dialogue it is seen as a weakness and inability to discuss if you threaten consequences for an opinion. And rightly so.
- jimbokun 5y agoIf there are severe consequences for speech, to what extent can you say it's "free"? It may fit a narrow legal reading of the First Amendment, but that's not necessarily the same as the ideal of "Free Speech".
- terminatornet 5y agoWhat consequences were there for her exactly? She got offered a million dollar payoff, turned it down, and is now clearly gearing up to try and be some conservative grifter. The consequences don't seem that bad to me.
