Not all views deserve respect. Depending on what specific views they are talking about a lot of the ones circulating should not be tolerated.

We forget that this industry is still young. It's probably not even in its adolescence. When I started working, there was no such thing as an Internet giant. There was Intel and Microsoft and 30 different PC clone vendors and a bunch of small software shops competing to get their boxes on the shelves at Microcenter. A lot of ideas we take as axioms --- for instance, the idea that developers can't organize to coerce changes in their working environment --- haven't earned that status, and deserve to be challenged.
Seems like it's fairly true if they're already getting complaints from employees while not breaking any actual company policies.
And those employees complaining were told they're not breaking any company policies. Their group is still open and nothing has been done against them. What a controversy.

I agree. From the article: >This month, the social network barred the far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, a move that critics seized on as further evidence that the company harbors an anti-conservative bias. Banning someone like Alex Jones is not an anti-conservative bias. It is an anti-asshole bias. No one is going to ban you for discussing tax policy.

There’s a massive difference between calculated misinformation with incitement to violence and having differing views.

* Support of President Trump (e.g. Thiel's and Palmer Lucky's campaign contributions)
* "All lives matter"
* Criticism of Islam's human rights record.
* Calling the company's art politically radical .
Which, if any, of these views don't deserve respect?
