It's true. I won't discuss anything sensitive online. All of my friends have political battles online through Facebook and it will only hurt their future job prospects. Many, many people have been fired over silly comments on Facebook (read: having an opinion that makes special-interest groups, and in some cases, people with mental problems, angry). 1984 is here and it's ourselves. We truly don't have the freedom of speech when just stating your opinion gets you fired, your business destroyed, or your personal life attacked. We are also giving power to anyone and everyone that wants it. If I wanted to get someone fired, I could easily dig through their personal info and get a twitter mob online to protest their employer. It works every time because businesses don't want the bad PR and the media just wants to continue on with the same narrative.
