> Does it survive contact with reality in KSA (and other locations that don't share western liberties)? What is the internal messaging to employees of multinationals investing so much in DEI when they work in (or travel to) KSA?

That's not lateral thinking enough.

The point of googling is to find the relationship between "KSA" and "Riyadh".
