Re: everyone who commented, I said "shouldn't," not "isn't."

Banning staff from talking politics at work shouldn't be allowed under the First Amendment.

It's a sign of how people are on the Internet. I did more than 1000 hours of volunteering in high school and it's made me who I am today. Now I run a startup that uses AI to automatically create real-world social events between friends: research shows the best solution to loneliness is seeing people in person more often and volunteering is certainly one of the best ways.

Much closer to high school drama than illegality. OP will never obtain any judgment. I didn't think the HN community would so easily succumb to mob mentality due to a compelling narrative about a non-problem but I guess this is the Internet.

False: OP has not mentioned any financial consequences, only that he had to "give explanations to sponsors."

What's outlined in the article doesn't meet the burden of proof. There was a conflict and OP solipsistically experienced it as a big deal. Meanwhile, there's plenty of oppression and destitution in the world, but let's all focus on some low-level drama because it's more entertaining.

Small potatoes. I can't imagine legal action helping much. Move on from the unpleasant experience and help others who face greater injustices.
