    That’s the mistake you’ve been making that I pointed out: they were never challenging the fact that knowing employment law will protect your job when protesting. They were challenging a conflation of the law with company policy.

    No one in this discussion thinks the Constitution will protect them from termination when the company has employment law on their side, they’re insisting against (what seemed to be your) assertions that acting against company policy was a matter of criminal law.

    E: They said “It is […] legal to voice political opinions, even on company time, even on company platforms, and it is also legal for the company to fire the people doing so.” And you replied "That’s the misinformation that caused these people their jobs. Stop spreading it. You’re wrong, and dangerously misinforming others about US laws. You cannot voice political opinions at work if the company has a policy against the practice." They weren’t spreading misinformation, man. You, however, are using words like “you cannot” about company policy, like a bootlicker.









  • There is a big difference between criminal law and civil (tort) law. “Suing” takes place in civil court and is not a matter of actions being criminal offenses, violations, or “illegal,” and tort cases have different burdens of proof.

    You can sue someone for just about anything, hence the concept of “frivolous lawsuits.” That wouldn’t need have anything to do with a criminal offense, of which, no, “insult” is generally not.
