While all such claims should be taken seriously, the issue remains that such statements are sometimes invented or exaggerated by people who recognise the damage they can cause. Everyone deserves the presumption of innocence, even evil mega corporations - because at the end of the day real abusers are able to hide in the noise that’s generated by those making disingenuous claims. This is a common tactic in the political space: it’s the tactic of muddying the water with so many false claims that legitimate claims are just dismissed as rhetoric.
