> If you can lose your livelihood for a political opinion, you don't really have free speech, yet that's increasingly the precedent set by Silicon Valley as a reasonable consequence of unpopular political opinions.
A hypothetical for you. Let's say you're married to someone. That someone later down the line turns into a massive jerk, frequently spouting obscenities at you and has changed politically. If you divorce them, are you violating their right to freedom of speech? Should we as a society not allow divorces lest they censor someone's opinion?
I have no issue with people being fired or divorced for spouting obscenities. I would certainly think poorly of someone who filed for divorce because their spouse changed politically.
