It's different yes, but let's not pretend like this is a conversation around an "open-society" vs a "closed" one. They are not the same, but there is overlap. For example, the employment of academics in the US being in jeopardy if they choose to criticize Israel.

They are completely different.

"the employment of academics in the US being in jeopardy if they choose to criticize Israel."

This has nothing to do with state powers monitoring arbitrary communications.

This has to do with specific enterprises practices of hiring discrimination - which is a complex, but totally separate problem.
