Bully for you. So you're fine with any horrible thing happening to people who are employees, simply because you feel a sense of personal immunity? Lovely.
Twitter mobs are not imaginary. Good grief, don't you even know what century you're living in? I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE CAREERS DESTROYED BY TWITTER MOBS IN A SINGLE DAY. IT IS BLOODY EVIL. And you APPROVE of it!!!!!

We haven't even raised the fact that misconduct in an employee's personal life can give employers just cause to terminate an employee (no notice, no damages, no severance, etc.)
Senior employees have a clear fiduciary duty to protect the goodwill and reputation of the employer and not to do anything which may damage the company brand or reputation. All employees, regardless of their position, are subject to an implied duty of good faith and fidelity to their employer. Any conduct by any employee which is prejudicial or likely to be prejudicial to the interests or reputation of the employer may justify disciplinary action, including summary dismissal without notice. The conduct of employees which can damage the reputation of the employer is not limited to workplace conduct but extends to misconduct from an employee’s private life.
I stress again that these legal principles are not new. They have been around for many, many decades (probably hundreds of years in fact.)
