Amazon is straight up firing these people for expressing their personal opinions. Amazon isn't even claiming they lied, or pretend to speak officially, or any other reason.

Amazon is very clear when you're hired that you're not allowed to represent the company or it's positions on social media or anywhere publicly without getting permission.

You can agree or disagree with that policy, but it's not new. Source: first heard of this policy when I was hired at Amazon in 2007.
