It's a private company, they're allowed to be biased, while you can call that out, you can't really call it "wrong" as there is nothing starting you from stopping your own company and a few are out there now for those people who enjoy right->alt-right->nazi topics [gab, truth, mastodon, parler]. I posit you won't make much money as it'll be hard to find advertisers for said spaces (and obviously mastodon can just ban you from servers easily) My point is the tech crowd is highly center->left leaning, and you can't ask someone "please take this political spectrum questionnaire" 90% of them will get up and walk out when you are hiring. |

I can call censorship wrong whether private or public, thank you very much. And I can agree and actually support their rights to do it as a private company. There's no contradiction there.

I'm not saying they should, I'm saying that it is an extreme hypocrisy that the pro-diversity, anti-systemic bias crowd seems to be completely mum about their own glaring systemic bias. There is a very high value in having viewpoint diversity where there are people in your organization capable of offering insights where the majority has a complete blind-spot. Instead viewpoint diversity is squashed and people who don't toe the party line are vilified.
Genuine disagreement should be embraced in organizations but all too often people are not afforded the dignity of their own sense of judgement.
