    Not supporting this but freedom of speech is freedom from prosecution. If you are flipping burgers and tell a customer your favorite category of adult film, your getting fired.

      Yep you are free to call out fascist your employer supports. And your employer is unfortunately free you to fire you. No free speech violations there. Now if they called in the government to take you off to a camp to be exterminated or re-educated. Once the government becomes involved it’s most definitely a free speech / human rights violation. Will get there soon enough. Still plenty of reason to be outraged.

      From what I searched, the meteorologist criticized Elon Musk on her private social media, not while working.

      If you’re flipping burgers, and later you get home and post online on a personal account about your favorite category of adult film, it’s none of your employer’s business.

        I totally agree. Still nothing to do with freedom of speech itself. The 1st amendment.

            Freedom of speech is just that, free from government interference(look it up). You are referring to censorship.
