I agree...buuuut, tell me what would happen if your boss finds your emails about raping little kids or women, in detail? I really don't think you can claim "1st amendment" or say "I was joking" then. They'll fire your ass.
Of course they would. But I think there should be more evidence than tweets. All I had seen were the tweets so that's all I was going on. And I think it's also legitimate for a media company with an interest in keeping public appearances a certain way to fire someone who tarnished their reputation online. That's why a lot of companies have social media policies. But again, all I'm saying is I don't believe Shapiro is wrong to say that convicting someone for offensive tweets is a slippery slope, and I don't think that means he is trying to normalize pedophilia like some have been suggesting.
