Sitting on the bus, I’ve already changed my mind about the decision to take down the articles, instead of posting a retraction notice. At first I thought Mr. Krebs was being scummy by pulling the posts. The Ars Technica article linked by u/riffic mentions that there was an earlier, denied takedown request. So, now I think the posts were likely taken down as part of a settlement. We’ll probably never know—I expect an NDA to be part of the terms—but I wonder if, from Ubiquiti’s side, it might have been better to leave the posts up, but with a retraction notice.
