Conservatives named it, and are currently weaponizing it. But it started with people being racist on facebook and then getting fired because online activists were complaining. This trend continues today with tik-toks that say thing like “make them famous.” The online rallying cry on reddit and other spaces that freedom of speech wasn’t freedom of consequences, and of course that the first amendment only applies to the government.

While those positions are legally true, in liberal fashion they never considered if the chilling effect this created could ever be weaponized. But maybe having your livelihood being dependent on having “correct” opinions could possibly be a problem that a Just society should attempt to address?
