Well, partly I'm thinking of like people who lost jobs or journalists who got temporarily locked up over speaking out for Palestine. But those two are maybe a bit different, one is the corporate wing punishing people and the other is the state wing punishing people, and you're probably right that for the most part, the state wing only goes after regular non-specialist roles like a journalist if they're taking action. Or I guess we could say it's like, the amount of perceived threat (to the empire) of what you do is directly correlated to how quickly they sweep aside their "free speech" spiel.
