I agree, Framer - free speech is not something that the wise grant, in
JS's parlance, but something that fools deny. Our neighbour's jack-booted attitude means I would never work down the road; if you need to silence your staff completely and threaten anyone who discusses your business, then the working conditions must be horrific. That is a huge dent to recruitment and retention of staff, especially expats. I suspect they contend with far worse than many others do, we just don't hear about it. So, it's not an act of generosity to allow people to speak, and it's of concern that anyone would think so.
