No, the question is whether she had a right to complain after the fact - and she did, as a matter of policy. If you don't like a conference's code if conduct, don't go to the conference. Simple.

Well, these are different questions which matter to you. One is a big question of whether we should be concerned about rising censoriousness as a society and the other is about corporate rights to impose their own values on employees/attendees.

Whether companies/conferences/institutions have the right to impose values on users/workers is of less interest to me than what those values. eg, I'd be critical of a company which said 'Everyone must join in Christian prayers' but not one that said 'Everyone must wear clothes.'

In both cases, a conference would have the right to set its own ethos and people would have the right to choose not to attend. These rights are not so interesting to me. Why everybody must be Christian or pretend to be Christian to be included could be depending on context.
