Silence and contempt is usually the career saving answer. While the public messaging is different, I believe there is a strong incentive to not hire too outspoken people as they are highly divisive in a work environment. But the academic world very likely looks differently. Ironic that the alleged accusations of discrimination became true mainly due to their censorious actions. A lot of people support those in danger of getting cancelled out of protest and it seems to be working quite well. Advertisers might be still more careful here, but that isn't only a bad thing.
