“This litigation is designed to harass and silence current and former Kraken employees for speaking about their experiences at the company,” said EFF Staff Attorney Aaron Mackey. Even though Doe believed they had complied with the agreement, Doe deleted the Glassdoor review. Kraken also sent an email to former employees, demanding that they delete any reviews that were in violation of the severance agreement. The company filed a lawsuit against ten Doe defendants, including our client, claiming they breached their severance contracts and seeking to identify them. However, in May of last year, Kraken changed course and began targeting Doe and other former employees. Kraken publicly responded to Doe’s review of the company on the Glassdoor site, thanking Doe for the feedback and wishing Doe the best. Doe, shared their views on working for Kraken, which ranged from praising the “skilled, knowledgeable, and nice colleagues” to a personal reflection that “I personally had a deep sense of trepidation much of the time.” Doe took care writing the review, as Doe had signed a severance agreement promising not to disclose confidential information or disparage or defame the company. After Kraken laid off several employees, people left anonymous reviews about the company on Glassdoor. Glassdoor is a popular website where people share opinions of their current and former workplaces. EFF filed a motion to quash a subpoena for identifying information of its client after the cryptocurrency exchange company known as Kraken filed suit against several anonymous reviewers seeking to identify them based upon a claim that they breached their severance agreements. San Francisco – The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is asking a state court to protect the identity of an anonymous Glassdoor commenter who is being targeted by their former employer.
