Not really. Any employer who fires someone over an FB post does not believe in free speech. What they are legally allowed to do is a different matter. Free speech does mean freedom from reprisal (again, counter-speech is not reprisal). And it can exist. Many subverses on Voat seem to uphold that idea. Redit used to be another such place.
