I've never even assumed NDA's were used this way. I've always assumed they were used to protect corporate intellectual secrets. Is it not risky to a corporation to use NDA's as gag orders for violations of law? If I am a victim and I know I can't talk about it, that gives me incentive to document the abuse and just release it anonymously to the public. This could only harm a company. Does this not happen as an unintended consequence of using NDA's in this manor? Or did I misunderstand what is going on in that article?
