If you are freedom absolutist then you have to agree that Google has a freedom of association right to fire you if they don't like the things you are saying.

It's funny how the people who adamantly oppose any restrictions on "freedom" don't realize "freedom" cuts both ways - if you have the unlimited freedom to do what you want then other people also have the unlimited freedom to punish you if they don't like what you are doing.

While I don't entirely agree with the poster above, I think there can be a notable difference in freedoms that your post ignores. People and corporations are two separate groups, and you may want more freedoms for either or even both. Like, I'm for individual freedoms, but companies have the potential for more abuse than a single person not liking you does, and so they should be far harsher regulated (and they are, though some may want more/less) in how they behave towards individuals.
