This comes as no surprise at all. Google, Facebook, Apple and others want to use the claim that they're combating "extremist" or "hate" speech as a red herring for imposing their far left progressive social norms on the rest of society. Aside from the fact that the First Amendment to the Constitution guarantees freedom of speech, who gets to decide whether something is extreme or not? What qualifies Google or Facebook employees to do that? We've already seen how Google fired a young engineer simply because he had the audacity to have a different opinion than Google executives. Since when did that become a basis for termination? Sadly, even groups like the ACLU that supposedly are the defenders of free speech are silent about all this.

A number of these corporations have become way too powerful due to all the personal information they collect. I hope the Google engineer who was terminated wins his lawsuit against the company and a large amount of damages, because this kind of corporate behavior is outrageous and needs to change.
