If he is acting on incorrect information, by default he is acting in bad faith. His obligation is to verify before acting. Maybe the law doesn't agree, but those are the facts, legal or not. Right now the law reflects popular opinion, not the facts, so yes, I will lose in court. The truth loses also, little I can do about that.
The rumor monger can say what he wants. I will go after the people who act on them. You can sue people for acting on bad faith. It wouldn't bother me to see the entire system clogged up over it. You do whatever it takes to stop the bad actors. They are the bullies. The fist is your enemy, not the tongue.
Discipline is the parents' problem, not Valve's. They can put their allowance money into a piggy bank instead of giving it to the kid. As for adults who can't control themselves, please, don't even go there.
Well see, the real assholes in such a situation are the people who believe the liar, not the liar himself. He's simply a liar. The believers are the dangerous ones. Everybody makes a big stink about people like Trump and Limbaugh, but they are just big mouths, their followers are the violent crazy people you have to watch out for..
They aren't calling them liars. They were pissed about their contract being exposed and want it stricken for not being public knowledge, nothing there about it being false.
Social media is no worse than Hearst's or Murdoch's (as just two examples) yellow journalism, the kind that regularly gets us into wars on false pretenses. Social media has no monopoly on rumor mongering by a long shot. It's not like this stuff hasn't been done before. Old habits...
It's up to us to filter out the chaff to find the real story. You know what they say about eyewitness testimony... it's hardly reliable.
Well, they do represent fanbois and their money, so it can always go either way. Manipulating the government is a very big part of the business. You cannot get that big without its assistance. I don't know why you stand up for this guy. It just looks like you read too much Ayn Rand.
Well, they have to do that, since "official" sources always have "no comment". Using social media is a way of bypassing them. It's a Good Thing®. This is what happens when you allow too much state secrecy. It's an example of *routing around the damage*, something where the internet itself needs improvement.
Yeah, Nixon is dead, but his spirit lives in her and many others. Nothing was learned back then either. If you're going to vote for her, you may as well dig him up and sit him in the oval office. We are just reliving old times with these people. Hillary is Nixon... a more pleasant one, perhaps, but every bit as shady. Here we are, 48 years later, in exactly the same place we were then, still at war, and with all the other same old bullshit. Is Nixon really "dead"? You wouldn't know it by looking at his successors.
Eh, to each his own. I can't argue against the faithful. The story was factual enough to get a reaction form the government, even the same one he was bribing.
Sorry about the second reply, but it appears you got that idea from some book that Judge Bork wrote saying consolidation is a good thing because, efficiency...

I like that you follow me now... What was the question?

Get a clue yourself! They are not arguing the facts, just their exposure.

That still doesn't make the casino's fault. The gambler is only person to hold responsible, regardless who his "victims" are.

No, I would just say he 's a liar. What's to get pissed about?
Well, to be honest, they are fighting over imaginary property. It's more like gambling in the Lawsuit Casino
I think Google's reaction shows the number wasn't so "made up". Otherwise they could have just stated so much.

Nothing another "Opium War" can't fix..
Damn! I fucked that up...
I meant, Can I shout "FREE!" at a crowded Walmart?
Please don't hate me...

Most of the money is made from lawsuits and patent/copyright trading. That is the major "innovation" of this industry.
Therefore it doesn't exist! We're in the world of Harry Potter

Hiding posts from view of most users...
Viewers' choice! They can set the desired threshold. So you are wrong...
Oh well, maybe the Chinese people can just use social media for the news themselves, and bypass the middleman.
Eh, more censorship. Circumvention is all we need, not political grandstanding on its merits.

Well, if you wish, read the other book I linked to also. It wasn't just "efficiency" that made him rich.
