I can't wait for the impact this will have on astro turfing companies. The people paying for an army of bot's to upvote articles defaming a climate scientist for instance, will now be legally liable for that.
- anigbrowl 9y agoThat's a bit previous, as my my grandmother used to say. I'd need to see a lot more context and also to see this ruling adopted in other jurisdictions before I'd expect any sort of impact on that - I don't know much about Swiss law and it's equally possible that this judgement might be overturned because the judge misunderstood how social media works, for example. OTOH I do wish there were some sort of legal remedy against such fakery.
