What's Orwellian about it?

Who's "they" and who's forcing any rules on you or anyone else who use social media?

Roseanne knew the terms and conditions of her multi-million dollar contract, not to mention is old enough to know that racism is unacceptable in modern society.

A globally recognised company that relies on image and reputation isn't going to keep a face on their channel who is being openly racist on a public stage.

So, that's on her. Not this imaginary scenario you've dreamt up.

I'd say it's more Orwellian to suggest Roseanne should be free to be as racist as she pleases and nobody else has any right to respond to that as they see fit.
