> Business and government rely highly on NDAs to do business. And there's no reason for this other than to preserve power in the hands of the powerful. The sole purpose of the NDA is to limit the rights of the party with less capital and create unnatural advantages to the holders of capital. They eventually cause great social harm, and society ultimately pays the price cleaning up the mess. How many hundreds of billions of dollars in security costs does our society keep having to pay because of Microsoft and Intels reliance on NDAs and copyrights which led to building much of the digital world on shaky foundations. Like technical debt, there is "secrecy debt". Too much leads to catastrophe. People should have the right privacy and to keep secrets. But our collective government should not be in the business of subsidizing that.
