Sure, if you get one or two... If you get 5000 from a twitter mob, from people living all around the world, you can still report, but there's pretty much zero

If you get 5000 from a twitter mob, from people living all around the world, you can still report, but there's pretty much zero chance that anything will happen to any of those 5000 people, because the threats are considered as "not real" and nobody wants to deal with 5000 cases (paperwork, warrants, judical process after, etc.)
- desindol 4y agoYou are still liable.
- ajsnigrutin 4y agoI'm not talking about not-reporting, i'm talking about the uselessness of reporting... you report, the police does nothing. Who are they going to sue? You did what you had to do, the police will do nothing, and suing the police for not investigating 5000 different people from all around the world... well.. good luck with that.
- desindol 4y agoYeah, that’s still not how the real world works. Liability is there even if you really think it’s all bullshit. No sane corp will ignore it especially not in the US.
- monadgonad 4y agoYou clearly did not read the post you're replying to at all. They are not talking about ignoring it or claiming that they are not liable.
- desindol 4y agoYou have clearly no idea that you are still liable if you are not actively reducing the threat against your employees.
- threeseed 4y agoIt really depends on the country your business is in. For example in Australia, employers have a duty under workplace health and safety legislation to provide a safe workplace. And similar legislation exists in most countries. If you have an employee who is receiving death threats, you do nothing about it and then they are killed (or they even just sue you) then you would absolutely be liable.
- ajsnigrutin 4y agoReport sure, but noone is going to do anything about those reports.
- threeseed 4y agoYou do know that the employee can simply sue you. If you're running a business you have duty of care obligations as a Director. You seem to be completely ignorant of the seriousness of situations like this.
