Being able to multitask in Teams meetings is a bonus (I usually knit, because if I try to work I just end up completely tuning out the meeting, and if I really didn't think there was any point me being there I'd have sent apologies. (Happily, I do not have compulsory collegial network building meetings. Or if I do, I'm running them.)
I also censor myself on social media, for similar reasons, and I similarly don't feel that I'm being oppressed. I often have to sit on my hands quite hard to refrain from chiming in on certain topics (there is one rumbling on at present which concerns my actual department and has attracted a lot of comment from friends and people I follow, which it would really not be good for my continued employment prospects to comment on publicly, even if I really, really want to), but as you say, basic professionalism.
