A quick definition of reverse FOIA suit:

Reverse FOIA Suit: A legal case where the owner of a trade secret tries to stop a government agency from sharing that secret with the public. The Freedom of Information Act is a law that says the government must share certain documents with the public, but a reverse FOIA suit is when someone tries to stop that from happening. The goal is to keep the secret private and not let others know about it.

A more thorough explanation:

A reverse FOIA suit is a legal action taken by the owner of a trade secret to prevent a government agency from releasing that secret to the public. The term "reverse" refers to the fact that the lawsuit is initiated by the owner of the secret, rather than by someone seeking access to government information.

The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is a federal law that governs the release of government documents and materials to the public. However, there are exceptions to this law, including trade secrets. If a government agency receives a FOIA request for information that includes a trade secret, the owner of that secret can file a reverse FOIA suit to prevent the agency from releasing the information.

For example, if a company has developed a new technology that it wants to keep secret, it may file a reverse FOIA suit if a government agency receives a FOIA request for information about that technology. The company would argue that the release of the information would harm its business interests and that the information should be kept confidential.

I wish that wearing a mask when sick stuck around as an okay thing like it is in the rest of the world, not all of us have enough sick days to be ditching work.

One manager came in sick wearing a mask, got roasted and stopped wearing it that day. The entire office has been cycling sickness for two weeks now. It may not be super effective but it may help in slowing the spread during meetings when we have to be so close
