>to penalize someone due to their political beliefs?

That line was crossed a long time ago with cancel culture, so this isn't news.



'Cancel culture' isn't a government sanctioned censure of an individual, it's actions taken by private parties toward another private party that they no longer wish to do business with because of public pressure or public image issues. Sounds pretty free market to me.
