I just finished a conversation with my boss' boss, telling me (as nice as he can) to make all my facebook posts both future and past as hidden as possible.
When I asked why, he made it clear. People are having their lives ruined by posting a maga hat and he was looking out for my best interests.
I work for a fortune 500 company, multi-national and my position is pretty damned important (only about 10 people are in my position in a huge multi-national company) and my boss' boss is warning me against having my whole life destroyed.
I can't tell if I should be mad, sad, or terrified.
I work in the technology sector, what you're going through isn't uncommon. No one is allowed to express any conservative view publicly, in the office, or out, because the other people in the industry (whether coworkers, colleagues, or the community at large) will try to completely ruin your life.
I've watched people screenshot social media and send it to their bosses before.
