That's a little bit playing with words but if next year same day, this post doesn't re-appear on Reddit then automatically:
* They don't communicate anything to users
* Users understand a gag-order was issued
* They didn't break any laws
To an interested party, a hint such as this, should be enough to act as an alarm. On the other hand if they force the party in some way to release a statement then I guess the users are toasted.
- danielweber 12y ago* Users understand a gag-order was issued Right there? Communication happened. All these attempts to say "well, I'm not really communicating" are just flopping on the beach. You have information, and because of your action, a third-party now has that information. We'd call that communication any day of the week.
- atmosx 12y agoIf non-communiticating is taken as actually communicating you are correct. However proving that this is the case in court IMHO is not easy.
- Sharlin 12y agoNon-communicating would mean never actually having include the clause in the first place. Having it and then abruptly removing it, in this case, is pretty clearly communicating something. Or, in signal processing terms: ______________ |______________ information---^
