Yeah. Her Twitter is just a boatload of raging over social issues and men. Her responses even to the people being completely polite are entirely rude and uncalled for. "Oh she's just a very opinionated woman". No. She's a cunt. I can't even describe her in any other way because I wouldn't be honest at that point.

She's such a waste of a person, anyway. It's odd that the media would back the pony that even the most hardcore leftists have a hard time defending.

It's crap like this that's going to lead to Gamergate 2: Electric Boogaloo in the not to distant future. And for me personally, I can't wait to grab some popcorn and watch the fireworks go off.

That's actually an interesting conundrum. I don't believe people should be punished in their job for things they do in their private time. And yes, private twitter accounts are still personal unless you tweet about your work on there. What people think, should also not be a reason for consequence.

But twitter is crossing an interesting line between private and public and thoughts and actions. Because suddenly private thoughts become public utterances, at which point the thought becomes harmful.I don't mind that she celebrated the death of someone, even though for the wrong reasons. But spreading an extremist feminist world view can and already is hurting people. So I support the action taken by her employer. I just wish there was a law against spreading stupidity. I don't care what you think to yourself or what you say in private conversation, but spreading dangerous ideologies should not only cost you your job but should also have other personal consequences.

Eh, she sounded like a real bitch, YongYea had a good video explaining most of it. Its the typical "i'm a victim, EVERYBODY is out to get me and if you disagree with me on anything, you're attacking/offending me."

There's no medium with these extreme left and extreme right people. It's just all ultimatiums, black-and-white, no room for grey.

As i see it you can't demand privacy on a public forum, and if you say in your profile who you work for then your Twitter is connected with that company no matter what

When someone enters a relatively public space, maintains that public setting rather than changing it to private, lists their name and their employer, and discusses work on said platform then they have effectively forfeited their privacy in that situation, and they have become a public representative for their company.

As far as a law preventing speech in any capacity: hell fucking no. Speech laws need to refrain from anything that does not bring physical harm with it (threats or inciting violence). The moment you allow the government to arbitrarily decide what subjective language is "dangerous" is the moment you forfeit tthecountry to whoever happens to be in charge at the time, because suddenly dangerous language is any language that the people in power disagree with.

Speech can be physically dangerous even if it doesn't incite violence. Speaking lies is what got us the Brexit and a certain sentient Orange in the White House. Lies cause physical illnesses in the form of unvaccinated children. Lies give power to corporations that will continue to harm the environment and the people in them. Lies about history will recruit cult members and neo nazis that will hurt other people. Lies are a propaganda tool and will never lead to anything good. Spreading lies on a public platform should damn well be sanctioned because they lead to fucking harm.

Nazis would agree with you.They didn't want people to speak their minds or speak out against them.

I think theres a middle ground here.

Freedom of speech is important, but knowingly deceiving/lying to the public is not. With that said, it's very subject to corruption when you make an institution to classify what is truth and what is not. It would be ideal, but if there is someone disonest in there it would quickly descent into opression.
