I’ve been seeing people tweet that all NDAs are invalid now and while I am #NotALawyer I just wanted to note that I’m pretty sure it’s one specific type of NDA — basically only if you were told if you wanted severance you couldn’t say anything about your time at the company.
Definitely check what kind of NDA you signed before deciding it’s void now! And maybe speak to a lawyer!
Also people use NDA for both non-disclosure agreements and non-disparagement agreements which are related but different.

I just don’t want anyone to get in trouble because a tweet made them think it was okay to, like, publicly share proprietary knowledge they picked up during their time working at a company. Because that kind of NDA is def still in full force.
1/6. Hi #RRISD1Family‼️ Since this👇BS just don’t quit, we’re gonna do a Family Law Paralegal 101 class today. I’m speaking in general terms here b/c I’m #NotALawyer. The term “Permanent Restraining Order” is a made-up title, which is why no code is cited. 
2/6. A “Final Order of Protection” is a type of restraining order that's issued when family violence is FOUND to have occurred and is likely occur again in the future per Sect. 85.001 of the Texas Family Code.
3/6. Parties will often agree to a Final Order of Protection to avoid court. In which case you would see language like this 👇 making it clear that it constitutes an Order enforceable by the Penal Code due to a FINDING of family violence.🧐BUT... that's not what happened here.

Text messaging is the easiest form of communication to break the law with.
If you don't have EXPLICIT permission to text an audience, you can face fines of $500-$1,500 PER TEXT for mass text messaging.
That is a hefty fine to pay for marketing.
But there is a loophole.

Politicians across the country are texting without explicit consent by exploiting the definition of mass texting.

I'm tweeting a bit late from BC's quash Bill 12, the so-called "turn off the taps legislation" because it's unconstitutional court arguments. I showed on time and forgot my laptop. Dear Hubby ran home to get it for me like a kid who forgot lunch. He's good like that.
At any rate, Gareth Morley will be arguing for BC and Evan Dixon will be arguing for Alberta. Long arguments, all day, with no expected decision. Forgive the typos now.
Alberta Justice Robert Hall says he's not Monty Hall "let's make a deal" and is wondering why they're starting at a lower court when it will inevitably go to the court of appeal. He's implying this might be a waste of time arguing at a lower court.
