So we have no need to worry that a major corporation thinks it’s its job to police our politics because we’re not important enough to be noticed? Colour me reassured. Not.
There’s a question of principle here, not least because how corporations treat well known holders of certain opinions can have a chilling effect lower down the ladder of celebrity. We can’t have a situation develop where businesses get to decide which social views are articulated or are acceptable. If nothing else, businesses, particularly large, public listed ones, have no intrinsic morals or social views outside of what they think works best with their marketing strategy. It’s a dangerously capricious state of affairs which shouldn’t be allowed to become normalised.
