Just as a broad sweep, I think you're right.
The academic side is “unmuzzleable”, so it goes all over the place. Of course, government science works for organizations, as do people who work in big corporations. I think there was a time when there was a fair bit of pressure to line up with whatever the messaging of an organization was. There is a sense now that there are policies that allow people—at least for their scientific work—to speak more freely, or at least it's perceived that they can speak more freely.
