It’s very clear that in the interest of business, those statements should not be made by an employee.

They are free to make these claims in a way that doesn’t damage the business. Like a second personal Twitter account.

Are they, though?

I mean, presumably they were posting from a personal account to begin with. Just how separate would a second account have to be - Is it enough to just say all opinions are their own, and only post on their own time? Could they use their own name? What about an online handle they'd used before, if a highly motivated doxxer could possibly identify their employer?
