The 10$ gift cards were just hilarious. How could they possibly expect anyone to take them seriously?

The 10$ gift cards were just hilarious. How could they possibly expect anyone to take them seriously?
- hsbauauvhabzb 2y agoWas this possibly some way to influence liability limitation? If you accept a $10 gift card, could that be argued as an acceptance of compensation?
- switch007 2y agoHopefully judges aren't that stupid / our legal systems so easily gamed
- m2fkxy 2y agowait, that was not a joke?
- MobileVet 2y agoSure wasn’t. $10 Uber Eats card https://m.slashdot.org/story/431090 https://m.slashdot.org/story/431090
- orlp 2y agoNot a lawyer, but the cynic in me assumes that it is legal bait: if someone at the company cashed the $10 gift card one could argue that compensation for damages has been accepted and no further liability applies. At least legally speaking, obviously this is completely morally bankrupt.
- consp 2y agoAny normal legal system should have an option for avoiding this, like "reasonable" compensation (reasonable would then be argued in court but I'm pretty sure you can find a lawyer who can argue a uber gift card is not).
- Ekaros 2y agoI hope that happens to every company that simply updates terms of service by sending email...
- dist-epoch 2y agoMaybe this would work if the damage was $100. But you would not get away from $mil of damages with a $10 voucher. The courts are not dumb and don't work like that.
- GoToRO 2y agoI'm having a really hard time lately distinguishing between memes and actual news. The news sound a lot more meme like than the actual memes.
- venky180 2y agoI read somewhere that the 10$ gift card was for crowdstrike partners who are working to fix the issue, and not it's customers.
