Legal and Ethical Boundaries of Company Refusing Service Considering Individual's Public Statements

Abstract

As the impact of public discourse on the relationship between individuals and corporations becomes increasingly pronounced, this paper examines the legal and ethical issues surrounding when a company may refuse service based on an individual's public statements. The field of study has its deficiencies, particularly in the lack of clear guidelines at the intersection of freedom of speech and corporate rights. This paper aims to clarify the boundaries of rights between companies and individuals by analyzing specific legal cases, such as 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis and Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission and discusses the potential damages that may arise from refusing service. The study finds that companies can refuse service in specific circumstances without violating the law, especially when service provision may harm the company or its clients. This conclusion emphasizes the importance of respecting freedom of speech and protecting corporate rights. The significance of this research lies in providing legal guidance for companies dealing with service refusals based on public statements and offering a reference for future legislative and judicial practices, contributing to a deeper understanding and respect for freedom of speech and corporate rights.
