Attorney Sues eBay over Negative Feedback

Posted by michael on from the thin-skinned dept.

Mephie writes "MSNBC is running a story on an attorney who is suing ebay over negative feedback a seller left about him. It sounds like a classic case of buyer leaves negative feedback for seller; seller responds accordingly. The plaintiff claims he'd not be filing the suit if he didn't feel ebay's policy needs revision, stating 'They can control content and for them to fail to do so is unconscionable.' Yeah. That's great."

    If you replace eBay with Experian (or TransUnion or Equifax), not only do you have something which most Slashdotters would jump on the bandwagon of, you have something which is already the law in the United States.

    But since eBay IDs aren't social security numbers, somehow that makes it OK...
