Alleging a violation after he asked for an API key, rather than simply turning him down or saying that he could experiment but that he would need to get agreement before deploying, seems like defamation to me.
- rafram 2y agoIt's harsh, but that's not what defamation means at all.
- anigbrowl 2y agoAssuming his narrative is factual they are accusing him of a violation he did not commit and he is now being threatened with expulsion as a result.
- jcrites 2y agoTrue, but accusing him of a violation privately, to him, is not defamation. Accusing him publicly is still probably not defamation. Whether he violated certain terms of service is something that would ultimately need to be decided by a court, so them believing he did so isn't defamation even if they're wrong.
