You frame this as "stating a fact" but it's actually "running a side business". Just because it is a fact, doesn't make the side business any less relevant. An employee is free to say "I work at X". They are not free to use the fact that they work at X to make money. > How can you police stating a fact to that degree? In the course of your employment anywhere, your employer is free to prevent you from making all kinds of statements of fact. If you do make them against their will, they are free to sue you for causes of action such as breach of contract.
