If it’s a lie, it’s defamation (libel).
- lotsofpulp 5y agoI cannot remember the last time someone got prosecuted or sued for libel for falsely accusing a business of something. It happens numerous times every day. I would be willing to bet nothing happens to this person if their claim turns out to be false.
- quitit 5y agoYou can't remember, therefore it doesn't happen. Magical thinking there.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoI know that the US has a very high bar for defamation claims. It is common knowledge that you can make things up in yelp reviews or twitter or wherever with no big consequences. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_defamation_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_defamation_law
