No legally protected right. This doesn't mean it is ethical, and given that it is a protected right in other jurisdictions shows it deserves more consideration and should not be hand waived away.

If "it's legal" is the argument being used to defense a behavior, it's safe to assume it's not actually a good one.

It is legal. The claim was that it wasn’t.

I never argued it was ethical. I think it is, but that wasn’t my argument.
