Out of curiosity, has there ever been a gag agreement that wasn't put forth by an absolute asshole to cover up their asshole behavior? Like are they ever used for good?
- hnick 4y agoThey can be used in court cases to avoid biasing the public/jury before the case is heard to completion. Depending on your perspective you may see this as protecting the assholes involved but its intent is for a balanced and impartial hearing.
- kazinator 4y agoYes; among the kinds of restraining orders against assholes, there can be provisions against certain kinds of public speech on certain topics (e.g. which would be harassing to someone).
- ARandumGuy 4y agoBy their very nature, gag agreements tend not to go public. Therefore, we're probably not going to get any stories of "good" gag agreements in the news.
- youguyssuck 4y agoOne example might be to protect the name of the victim in sexual harassment/abuse cases
- jasonwatkinspdx 4y agoNon disparagement clauses are gonna be common in any settlement where the other party has the legal upper hand. A wrongful termination would be an example, where the settling party would want assurances the manager won't pull a Marty on reddit.
