The next sentence under the headline is "Tech company denied illegally recording and circulating private conversations to send phone users targeted ads".
- caminante 8mo agoThat's a worthless indicator of objective innocence. It's a private, civil case that settled. To not deny wrongdoing (even if guilty) would be insanely rare.
- romanows 8mo agoObviously. The point is that settling a lawsuit in this way is also a worthless indicator of wrongdoing.
- caminante 8mo ago> settling a lawsuit in this way is also a worthless indicator of wrongdoing Only if you use a very narrow criteria that a verdict was reached. However, that's impractical as 95% of civil cases resolve without a trial verdict. Compare this to someone who got the case dismissed 6 years ago and didn't pay out tens of millions of real dollars to settle. It's not a verdict, but it's dishonest to say the plaintiff's case had zero merit of wrongdoing based on the settlement and survival of the plaintiff's case.
