Hmm. Technically yeah, but corporations tend to gag their own employees more than the government gags corporations. The corporation can say just about anything it wants about politics and faces no repercussions from the government, but if an employee says the wrong thing about politics, they'll be shitcanned very quickly.

That's because it's an employee employer relationship. If say the wrong shit my gf might break up with me, is that censorship on her part?

But that's the same between government and corporations. It's an entity built of a relationship between people and the government

Not by choice, at least not reasonable choice.

I can find another job corporation must have its relationship with the government. Basically choice

That's my point! That's the political financing world as established post-CU.
