> No, HR takes the allegation seriously, does an investigation, and if the facts support the allegation, then ruins the guilty party's life. > And the allegation was found to be baseless and, instead, was some sort of a ploy - ruins the false accuser's life. The obvious problem is that HR lacks any oversight, and is not a legal, moral, or investigative authority. They are woefully unsuited to perform an investigation or to enforce punishments. An obvious issue is that they cannot compel testimony; how meaningful is an investigation where the only info they can get is that which is voluntarily provided, and it's perfectly legal to lie to them? That sword cuts both ways; the insufficiency of the investigation and lack of due process can penalize both legitimate accusers and the guilty party. We have a whole justice system designed to handle situations like this. They have due process to ensure the fairness of a trial. They can compel testimony, even from third parties if they want to look at text messages or whatever. They have the authority and mandate to hand out punishments. People refusing to use that justice system, for whatever reason, is not a problem Apple needs to solve. That's a problem society needs to solve. I really don't want to privatize the enforcement of legal issues, lest we bring the Pinkertons back.
