CMV: The bakery who refused to cater a gay wedding were exercising the same rights as companies exiling white supremacists now.
People were outraged when that bakery refused to sell a cake for a gay wedding, they were found guilty of unlawfully discriminating against gays. Right now, people are applauding Spotifys decision to remove all white supremacist music, AirBnB banned users they thought were white supremacists, Discord shut down their server, Google and GoDaddy shut down their domain rights for their website and Wordpress shut down a blog of theirs.
Im not saying any of this was wrong, these companies should be allowed to choose what they want done with their business, BUT, if you say that, it seems like you would have to allow business the right to chose which customers they serve, which everyone seemed to disagree with when the bakery exercised the same right. Am I wrong that this seems like a double standard?
