Cloudflare Termination Video: A Master Class in How Not to Terminate Someone

Ah, but here's the thing: She didn't say anything in the video to disparage Cloudflare. She simply posted a conversation. Integral to "disparagement," as a concept, is the notion that the disparager must have made at least one overtly disparaging statement.

I don't think that merely posting a video, where Clourflare's employees and policies acted stupidly and callously of their own accord, qualifies as a "statement" for the purposes of law.

I think what matters here is intent.

If I posted a video of the CEO of united, in a drag, at a public event, and I was subject to a non disparage contract with United, im not so sure I would be fine even though all I did is post an act, with no commentary, that was public.

IANAL so I suppose it would be up for a judge to determine my intent. If the stock price drops and the CEO gets fired, do I walk away scot free?
