It's becoming commonplace lol, even if the company doesn't explicitly state it sometimes, it's implied. But yeah as long as you don't use your real name/face, it's fine. But on places like FB or Twitter, if you're using your actual personal account, you usually also mention your workplace in your About Me section. And if the organization feels that your public posts make you a liability or show them in a bad light, they won't hesitate to drop you. Mostly religious, overly political or sexist/LGBT remarks, if they become highly controversial, you're at risk.That's not common here. At least I haven't even heard of that before. Thank god it isn't. But I'm rly glad that I only use social medias with usernames, not my actual name and face. I initially did it for privacy and security reasons, but with cancel culture and people digging old tweets (apparently Camila Cabello is now cancelled over tumblr reblogs she did while she was 15), I don't rly want my name associated with anything I do online.
I don't think u can put ur employee into bad light unless you do sth during ur job that hurts them. No matter what you say, one burger flipper in McDonalds or what not, does not reflect McDonalds as company. Unless you commit crime that would interfere with ur job like police committing serious crime during their free time.

I just rly hate cancel culture if someone can tell
I can kinda understand their perspective too. Imagine you're a manager or CEO and your employee's personal actions also drag down your company image by association. Where do you draw the line? How to decide what stuff crosses the line and is inappropriate, it's really tricky situation. Anything negative can even impact your business/share price. Granted, this only happens when stuff blows up like in this case but yeah. Reminds me of when Marvel fired James Gunn, although I didn't agree with their actions but I understood why they did what they did.
