> if you have an NDA that can be broken by using your personal phone

Almost every NDA, including those standard with employment packages, include in the definition of confidential information the time, date and duration of phone calls with customers and sensitive suppliers. Anyone in a customer-facing role would thus be required to keep those data confidential, i.e. not disclose it without proper authorization to a third party, e.g. Facebook.

Then it's probably not a great idea to use a personal phone to make those communications then. Whoever wanted the NDA should provide one.

This might work for an employee defending against their employer. It wouldn’t work for the employer relative to their customers; or a contractor to their clients; or any other situation. In any case, my point is Facebook may have caused many people legal harm.
