At another BigCo I am familiar with any external communications must go through a special review to make sure no secrets are being leaked, or exposes the company to legal or PR issues (for example the OP).

Same here. Four or five pairs of eyes on external comms, nothing like this would even get past the abstract submission.
Likely it wouldn't get written at all. The most useful aspect of layered approval processes is people treat them like outright bans and don't blog at all unless it's part of the job description.
If there's no reward for your effort but you might get punished then there's no point trying.
No one gets punished for trying. It’s a simple “no thanks”
