The consequences of "cancelling" or shutting down peoples' views

[AbrahamFreedom]

This is what happens. It was warned. It will happen to one group of people today but other sides the next.

CBC is usually a garbage, fake news organization but an eye opening article.

I used to think cancel culture was fake and some chronically online term but it’s crazy the amount of people losing their jobs cause this war

Even those Elon fans who say they’re pro free speech immediately switched up when this war starts and act just like the people they say they hate

I knew that it would include at least one Somali before opening the article

Last month, according to an official email seen by CBC News, George Brown College in Toronto put Bashir Munye, a culinary instructor, on paid leave while it investigated complaints related to one of his Instagram posts.

Munye, who has worked at the college for seven years, told CBC the school did not specify to him which post needed removing. The last post on his account related to the war, made before he was put on paid leave, uses the phrase "From the river to the sea" and the words "genocide" and "apartheid" to describe Israeli government actions against Palestinians.

Munye said he was hurt, shocked and frightened by seeing "how [an] institution can punish you based on allegations prior [to] providing you the opportunity to either rectify yourself or having the opportunity to explain or express your own sentiments."

In a statement to CBC, a representative of George Brown College said: "In line with our standard process upon receiving complaints, it has been concluded that there was no violation of college policies."

Munye, Ge and others affected in the same way have hired legal representation to determine their next steps.

Everyday I’m on reddit I see people joyfully call for genocide on Palestinians. Even on r/worldnews right now and no mods delete anything regarding it

Support palestine online and be anonymous so it doesn't affect you in real life

I don't understand people who talk about controversial things online under their real name and picture. What is the point of that? How does getting fired and persecuted in rl help someone's cause? alhamdulilaah these days you can say what you want to say and you can do it anonymously.

silencing and punishing your opposition is how you win actually, the issue here is that these elite pro israel people are out of touch. what theyre doing would have worked in the 60s
