People can cancel and boycott all they want, that’s not what this is. This is government censorship of an individual they want to punish which is not okay.

It's unclear that was why he was fired.

		I’m not sure you’re ever going to get the smoking gun you’re looking for to make a conclusive statement here. In lending, there’s a legal concept of disparate impact, which means even if your policy didn’t explicitly intend to harm this group of people, you implicitly / indirectly impacted them, and that also counts as a bad thing just like explicit impact. Basically, you don’t have to prove intent, you only have to prove outcome. …It was a roundabout analogy, but I think the same thing applies here. I don’t need the administration to say, “we did that because we don’t like him.” There is enough impact for me to conclude culpability, regardless of whether I can prove intent. (Edit: maybe a better concept here is circumstantial evidence)

		Seems like a clear cut case of jawboning.

		It's not unclear. Oma has had the 1000 yard stare for the last 10 years. None of this is unclear.

As a matter of consistency, did you also feel this way about the US and many foreign governments censoring (either directly or indirectly through social/media companies) those who spoke out against either the COVID response or the vaccines?
