Aren't political views a protected class in California? This could turn into a lawsuit against Facebook.
Why on Earth would California do that, if true?

You should be perfectly fine knowing someone who disagrees with you. In fact, that exposes you to variety of opinions (which is good good your critical thinking abilities). Why else talk to anyone at all, if you've just surrounded yourself with only yes…
This is exactly the kind of comment I was trying to prevent with the "at all" and your image being adversely affected by association with the other. Please look at the comment in the whole context and not pick the parts that make it look unreasonable. There are always things that people disagree on, but they are not going to adversely affect you because of their belief. I can be an omnivore and another can choose to…
I will be friends with anyone interesting. Especially if that's someone whose opinions are the opposite of mine. That would be fascinating. Let anyone judge me for that as they will.
Find something to stand for, and don't be afraid to be juged for it.
What is it you fear? Someone thinking that because you're friends with a Trump voter, you're a monster somehow?
Let it be publicly known that I'm friends with Trump voters, Hillary voters, Gary Johnson voters, and even someone who once voted for Nader.
I'm ready to be judged.

This comment is bad in many ways. FB is a people company and seeks to employ those who support its mission and beliefs. Ex. If a person is publicly known to believe in eugenics and they are in a position where the company could be adversely affected by the continued employment of that person then it is more than in the interest to remove association with said person. I'd be surprised if you've never had to stop assoc…

Adults are not the perfectly rational beings you are painting them to be.

Do you disagree with the statement or the context? I am sure you dont approve of countries that ban homosexuality and yet they produce arguments for their case.

Sure, but they can always work to better themselves, though, instead of making excuses for being how they are.

If I were a public figure who wanted absolutely zero association with something, I'd take steps to make sure I were not associated and could not be reasonably associated with said thing. FB employs a ton of people with widespread beliefs. Palmer happened to be a public figure whose associations with FB could cause discord if not already.

Your comment is too wide. Is it a punishment to be disassociated with is dependent on context.
I would pose the question of whether one should ever be punished for their views to you.

Nolo seems to think that's the case, they list "political activities or affiliations" as a protected class:
"In addition, California state law also prohibits discrimination based on: ... marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression, AIDS/HIV, medical condition, political activities or affiliations, military or veteran status, and status as a victim of domestic violence, assault, or stalking.
