Not for governments, corporations, or any other organization. Every organization wants to control information flow about themselves, and they certainly have the right to try to do so as long as they don't harm other people. But legally restraining and punishing individuals in pursuit of that control is rightfully subject to intense scrutiny. At the very least, you and your company come off as a complete bully, and I don't think that benefits you right now. -- Eric > > Not every employee is authorized to represent the company and inform third > parties (at his/her convenient timing and consideration) even if he/she > knows about it and/or some information has been placed into (partly) public > domain as part of a business process. > > I hope my explanation makes it clear that this ex-employee was not > authorized to provide any information about StartCom or WoSign. > > > -- > Regards > Signer: Eddy Nigg, Founder > StartCom Ltd. <http://www.startcom.org> > XMPP: start...@startcom.org <xmpp:start...@startcom.org> > > _______________________________________________ > dev-security-policy mailing list > dev-security-policy@lists.mozilla.org > https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-security-policy > -- konklone.com | @konklone <https://twitter.com/konklone> _______________________________________________ dev-security-policy mailing list dev-security-policy@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-security-policy
