That is bullshit. With that kind of thinking there would never be a whistleblower or political scandal. Everything can be swept under the carpet because someone signed an NDA.

This is one of those gossipy, salacious memoirs. It’s not an explosive political revelation or a whistleblowing mission.

This person is publishing a book for fame and money. The only reason it’s being interpreted as a noble act is because it appeals to people who dislike Facebook, but even those people are missing the obvious problem that the only reason she can write this memoir is because she was deeply involved with creating and running the company they dislike.

Writing a book is not the same as being a whistleblower[1] so whistleblower protection would not apply here.
