That means if something is published in the NYT but the company didn't explicitly ask NYT to publish it, you have to treat it as private. This makes zero sense.

That means if something is published in the NYT but the company didn't explicitly ask NYT to publish it, you have to treat it as private. This makes zero sense. And I want to see somebody try to win a legal case based on the theory that something published in NYT is not "public" because they didn't "choose" to make it public.
- djbusby 5y agoYou've shifted the context to argue a nonsense point. If NYT published info, and that's how you became aware of it, yes, it's Public. But that was not the context I was replying to. My reply is in the context an individual employee making private information public. A journalist informing GenPop of data is very different than an employee leaking. Talk to your contracts or securities council for the details - scope and context are important.
