Depending upon your position you have an NDA that either has a date or never expires. I have worked for companies that I have NDAs with that never expire. Be careful what you share.

Is an eternal NDA legal?

Ask the judge.

Can you afford the lawyer to find out?

[-] damnYouSun@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

That is generally how NDA'S work.

It has been pretty much accepted now that most of them are legally unenforceable if anyone were to actually challenged them.

Certainly makes sense, especially when involved in stuff like developing tech for military and similar cases

[-] Mikina@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

From what I've heard, only if you are compensated for it.

But as the others said, can you afford to find out?

One could just use a VPN and share freely as long as they are not using their legal name as their username Id imagine. If they were at all worried.
