Can't Buy My Silence is a campaign co-founded by my guest Zelda Perkins.
The goal of the campaign is simple – legislative and regulatory change that will make NDAs unenforceable for anything other than their original purpose – the prevention of sharing confidential business information (“intellectual property”) and trade secrets.
NDAs are unnecessary for protecting victim identity (which can be protected with a simple one sided confidentiality clause), catastrophically damaging to innocent parties, and immoral when they hide harmful information from the public.
Every day NDAs are being used by the rich and powerful to protect themselves. Legislators and regulators must speed up reform and we are here to make sure this issue stays firmly on their radar.
