Does anyone know of any specific examples of people who got fired from their jobs (especially in the gaming industry) because some nutjob Twitter user went through their internet history and found that they posted something that goes against the liberal cult, possibly years prior? Things like if they said they voted Trump, didn't support trans people, etc. Bonus points if their employer made a public apology for hiring that person.

Wasen't there a lawsuit by YaBoiZack for tortious interference? What happened?
To the best of my ability here's my memory of it: Despite the near daily hype by some internet lawyer who kept folks up to date with the case (and raked in a lot of donations) eventually most people realized Zack's lawyer was all hat and no cattle (sucked bigly.) During covid lockdown Richard Meyer (Zack) dismisses the case voluntarily, neither party admitting liability or responsibility.
So basically Mark Waid won even though he did contact a comic book distributor to tell them not to work with Zack. Zack won by having the public fund the lawsuit, gain viewers and sold a shitload of comic books in the process. GamerGate and ComicGate lost because shit lawyer and Zack didn't hold up their end of the bargain and see it through. Simping for some justice and didn't even get to see the titties.
I never brought another RCM book afterwards. Also sold my autographed copies at a profit, so thanks yaboi.
IIRC it was dropped because ironically YaBoiZack ended up being very successful despite Mark Waid's interference.
With something like tortious interference you have to prove major damages.
