IMO the link should be changed to the FTC's press release, which has no paywall and provides a better summary: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2023/01/ftc-proposes-rule-ban-noncompete-clauses-which-hurt-workers-harm-competition https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2023/01/...
