Plenty of folks do worry about the possibility of being sued though, so getting rid of a chilling effect is good. Not everyone wants to even deal with the legal struggle or anxiety that would come with that, so it's good. It gives workers more rights, which is good.

I think I'm confused though about your second paragraph: do you mean that companies only enforce these things on big names, who have money to defend themselves anyway? If so, seems like there'd definitely be a chilling effect for anyone making less, unless they're willing to take a chance.

That's the whole joke. Nobody here actually gets the article or case. It helps only those who have garden leaves and extra money in their contract not to go anywhere. Today they call them "fractional executives".

Downvote all you want, at the end of the day the cease and desist they received would still happen even after this is passed, because slap suits and IP are still a thing.
