@ChrisMayLA6 NDA were never meant to cover up sexual abuse since that is entirely non-related to any sane business, so I see that case as obvious and completely non-controversial.
I would also argue that any crime committed or witnessed should also not be covered by the NDA.
But the interesting question is... in a libertarian world... would I see my freedom of speech and how much would it cost?
And would I, as a business owner, even want to bother with those extreme cases?

In response to this post@h4890
Yes, although its illegal for criminal acts to be subject to NDAs, at least in the university sector, NDAs have been used to cover up actions that if investigated properly with the victims might have resulted in prosecution.... however, for the most part the effected workers/staff have been paid off (and in some cases provided different jobs in the same university)....
@ChrisMayLA6 Ahh yes. The classic paid off strategy. Way too common, and very, very destructive for society at large.
But this is also very common in politics. I remember many years ago, the leader of the swedish socialist party got rid of all his competitors by giving away ambassadorships in remote places. Worked well for him.
