Ok, well then I suppose that you agree that I am free to spread false rumors about you, as long as I do it on a platform that is privately owned?

- askafriend 7y agoYou can already spread false rumors about anyone or anything with your Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. There's very little stopping you (within reason, of course).
- X6S1x6Okd1st 7y agoThat sure sounds like potential defamation.
- askafriend 7y agoHa good luck suing for defamation for every random tweet and internet comment from a bunch of random nobodies. That's neither possible nor sustainable.
- X6S1x6Okd1st 7y agoOh you're right I guess this situation would only really apply to large identifiable entities, like maybe tech corporations that selectively surface and moderate reviews.
- Skunkleton 7y agoYelp would _never_ do that. Far too moral.
- goatherders 7y agoWho said anything about false rumors?
