Someone needs to go take one for the team and go through the hassle of a petty lawsuit (which will be an open and shut case in front of any judge), and the judge will find that if you're a $400bn operations company and have a status page, it needs to be accurate. This is simple, like a judge forcing you to turn off your "we're always open! Yes, right now! Come on in" giant flashing billboard, whenever you close.
It's ridiculous that people need to check a $7 server that shows if amazon is down or not. Someone go through this petty lawsuit and force them to sort their shit.
If you're amazon, sort your shit or you deserve the huge legal damages of making someone take one for the team and actually go through with a lawsuit. This isn't even a grey area.
It's trivial for you to report this accurately. If you have a page purporting to do so...do so.
- logicallee 10y agoWhy is this being downvoted? There is a status page advertising "our services are up", when they have the information that this is false. I can't think of a great (tight) analogy, but McDonald's obviously can't put "Only 100 Calories!" on their advertisement for Big Macs. Why not? Because it's false... Companies can't just say whatever they want when they have information to the contrary. In this case other businesses are impacted. I think it's not a hard argument to make.
