We posed as 100 Senators to run ads on Facebook. Facebook approved all of them

GP explicitly called out that there is not just a legal issue of free speech, but also a cultural one. Your response, "but it's legal!" in short, does not address that at all.

Lots of things are legal but maybe not what we want. I'd say a working culture where having the wrong political opinion can get you fired is definitely one of them.

Think that through then - what do you want the government do to in that situation? Start to police culture? How would that go? Are you sure that won't end in unintended consequences?

Who says I (or @coffeemug) is arguing for government action?

Do you have another way to police and enforce culture? What are you actually arguing then, since you claim the comments don't address your issue?

How else does it get done?
