Not really. It's weaponized privacy. Freedom of speech for thee (when it's expedient to my political goals) but not for me.

Except coordinating violence, which is specifically what the employee asked about, isn’t a “political goal”.

Breaking US law isn’t covered by the First Amendment and coordinating violence is breaking US law.

FWIW, I agree with you.

I don't agree when insurrection and violence is deemed 'political activism' or 'free speech' in countries like Iran, China, North Korea, etc.
