Traditionally SE site users, moderators, and CMs have discouraged political conversation on main site posts, meta site posts, comments, and site-specific chat rooms.

Recently, SE's CEO shared a statement regarding a high profile political topic on MSO. A follow up was posted by a CM on the Islam site meta. Both are were featured posts.

My questions are:

• Are political discussions now welcome on SE sites?
• Where? Mains, metas, chat rooms, comments?
• By whom? All users? Employees only? Upper level management only?
• On what issues? USA-related only? Hot issues only? Only issues that have already had significant exposure?
• On what sides of said issues? All sides? Favorable sides? SE-endorsed sides?

Having the CEO and a CM post a political statement on a site-specific meta sets an example and I am wondering what the new policies are.
