Twitter as a company/platform never went after anyone's job.
Free speech does not mean that speech is without consequences.
- throw10920 4y ago"Consequences" are enacted by an authority. The thing that happens on Twitter is "mob justice". EDIT: I did not read carefully before commenting, this comment is irrelevant.
- davidw 4y agoThe 'authority' mentioned was an employer, who is free to hire and fire people at will in he US, in many cases. Turns out that employing, say, a nazi, is not popular at many companies. This can certainly go to far, but it's kind of up to the employer, isn't it.
- throw10920 4y agoI misread. You're right, it's fully reasonable for companies to remove individuals from employment due to their own speech (but nobody else's).
