> Over the last 10 days, a website called anti-israel-employees.com published more than 17,000 posts, which one of the people behind the site said had been taken mainly from LinkedIn. The site, which claimed to be a “global live feed of potentially supportive sentiments for terrorism among company employees,” listed thousands of people and grouped them by their workplaces, in an apparent attempt to shame them for their sentiments on the Israeli-Hamas conflict.

So this site scraped LinkedIn for people posting Pro-Palestine tags and put them on a website.

Something something freedom of speech something something freedom from consequences.

I'm no lawyer but wouldn't it be really easy to claim libel here?

The name of the site is anti-israel-employees.com lol

Does praying for the safety of innocent Palestinians make me Anti-Israel?

Speech with consequences is the very definition of lack of free speech:

"Freedom of speech is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship, or legal sanction."
