"Potentially" is doing a lot of work there. If the lawyers get involved, marcyb5st is going to have to explain themselves and their comment, but their lawyer is going to ask about what material information is in the comment. The social media policy requires the disclaimer, btw.

At Apple, you could get shown the door if a cranky VP catches you opining on why revenue is down.

All I’m saying is: best to avoid any post that is related to company internals in any way. The “New York Times” rule and all that.

It's probably slightly less risk, yes. But Google has a specific policy about this and they are following it to the letter. This is pretty low-risk as far as things go.

Apple has very, very different policies on this than Google. Google is getting more conservative, but it's still a long way from Apple.
