People have been fired or denied employment from "groups" they "liked" way back in the heydays of Facebook.

Very benign things can activate very discretionary things in other people.

If I get fired because of my Facebook profile I'm sure I wouldn't want to work there anyway.

and I'm guessing you consider that a rebuttal?

What do you mean?

The point is to not only consider how such dynamics would affect you personally.

There are 7.4 billion humans on this Earth, and not all of them have the opportunities you do.

The point of what? The discussion is strictly about my personal situation. I 100% understand that other people may be much more affected and I'm supporting their cause. But that's off topic.

I'm guessing this is why elastic_church thought your response was a weak rebuttal. It's a very narrow view of a complex, important topic that will likely have big affects on our society.
