Gag me with a spoon.
Just because it's common doesn't make it ethical.
Gag clauses are indeed common in the biz. They cover trade secrets
and internal proprietary intellectual property.
If, "It doesn't work as as promised," is either a trade secret, or
internal proprietary intellectual property, the company, itself, is in
very deep do-do.
A user of a product, such as a radio station engineer, who uses a
product, such as iBiquity's IBOC Hybrid Digital transmission system, who
is precluded under pain of litigation from expressing an opinion about
how well the system does or does not work, is not in the public interest.
