In the tech. industry "blacklisting people from employment on the basis of their political views." i would argue support is still around 50%.



From what I've seen, it seems to me that it's even more than half now. There's a lot of 'cancel culture' in tech now. Lots of people are happy about the de-platforming of people they disagree with.

People today seem to be more willing to kick someone off the internet, get someone fired from their work, or put someone on blast socially than they are willing to simply sit down and debate the person - or just mute/block/ignore/avoid them themselves.
