She wasn’t banned from saying it, she was fired for refusing to do the job she was hired to do.
If you hire a butcher and they refuse to work on / around / in the vicinity of pork because of their religious beliefs, you are not firing them because of their religion. You’re firing them because they’re not a fit for the job they were hired for.
Demanding the script change because she has a problem with LGBT+ and being let go isn’t being “cancelled”, it’s demanding the entire production bend to your personal beliefs and being told “no”.
You’re right, she shouldn’t have signed up for that job. I wasn’t talking about her case in particular, but rather the larger phenomenon of people being banned for having opposing beliefs, particularly in online places where you can talk (forums, social media, etc)
If the government owned a version of Twitter, sure. Until then, good luck lol.
For the same reason I can tell you to get the fuck off my property. Doesn’t mean you can murder, but it’s mine. You don’t get to plant flaming crosses on it unless it’s upside down with a statue of Baphoment. Because then you’d have my permission.
There’s a difference between a small web forum with 3 users though, and something like Twitter, which is a gatekeeper and thus must be held to higher standards.

Private entities are not the government.

Legally? No, there isn’t.
ISPs aren’t even nationalized. Let alone private websites.
Also there should literally be no such term as higher standards. Standards should be equal.
Facebook should have the same freedoms to exercise discrimination than the redneck screaming in his backyard? Fuck that noise.
