As much as I hate the idea of a large corporation threatening lawsuits against people to suppress criticism, this situation.... doesn't seem to be that?
From reading the thread, it seems like this individual is a witness/party in a major lawsuit against amazon, and as a part of discovery amazon is asking for documents from this person.
That seems like a fairly reasonably/necessary request from someone who is testifying in a lawsuit?
Someone feel free to correct me, if there are additional issues with amazon in this case.
- crazygringo 3y agoTotally agreed. This guy literally went to Congress to testify against Amazon. He's not just a guy who just wrote a little blog post, he chose to become a major critic of Amazon and part of a state lawsuit. I totally commend everything he's doing, but I'm baffled by these tweets. When you go after a corporation, you should know what you're signing up for. Spending 16 hours gathering documents to deal with a subpoena is an expected part of that. He's complaining about legal bills but hasn't actually explained what they are, and there's so much anti-Amazon hatred out there it seems like it would be pretty easy to get his legal bills covered either by a sympathetic organization, pro bono, or just a GoFundMe or something. So I don't get what he's trying to accomplish by complaining. If there were a button to donate money towards legal fees, this would make a lot more sense. But there isn't.
