"This is undeniably a good thing if you put yourself in the shoes of the restaurant."
Maybe. I have no idea.
What I do know is, the following statement is 1A protected free speech:
If you pay me enough money, I will drive to the Novato In'N'Out and buy a cheeseburger and deliver it to you.
I offer this delivery service to anyone who wishes to negotiate my (extremely high) delivery rates.
This is posted in a public place (is a listing) and I have no relationship with In'N'Out and no plans to establish one.
Now what ?
- johnmaguire2013 6y agoApple is a private company, not a public entity. AFAIK, your "free speech" is not protected here.
- cleak 6y agoCompanies are people too.
- ghaff 6y agoYou are clearly not a "food delivery platform" which this explicitly concerns. Obviously you can pay people to run errands for you, including picking up food and people can advertise their services.
- rsync 6y agoYes, of course that is the case but a "real" delivery service is only one or two contortions away from "publishing" their "listings" in a way that is just like what I wrote.
- mytailorisrich 6y agoThis law only applies to online businesses. So while this effectively stops businesses from providing this service without permission it does not prevent what you describe.
- travisjungroth 6y agoThen you’ll be breaking the law, as I understand it. Not every statement is protected under free speech. If a private pilot asks his friend if she wants to go on a trip and split costs, that’s legal. If he posts the offer in a public place, it’s illegal. There is a ton of precedent for this type of restriction of speech.
