I fully understand that when a controversial situation comes up, then we need to think about official policy and PR spin, and in certain situation, we have to accept that we cannot give interviews as members of our GLOs.
But a "you can't give interviews about recruitment without permission from nationals" is too rigid, I think. If people give ditzy answers, hey, you've got ditzes in your org. Everything shouldn't be spinning for the media.

I am usually all about free speech and being (semi) anti-authoritarian, but I actually like the policy. It not only protects ZTA, it also protects our members.
