I heard that this site, www.fuckedcompany.com was getting sued by some company for what an ex-employee said about them in the forum.

Microsoft sucks

the article illustrates cases where ppl abused this freedom of speech. posting 100 posts of false information(may be even malicious) is not excercise of, but abuse of, first amendment.

just like the guy who counter sued and got 40K. he had right to say what he wants, as long as it was truthful.

Defamation of charactor or slander, and mearly "talking shit" about a company are 2 very different things..

if you defane or slander it usually involves citing a reputable source and claiming they said something that wasnt true.. like if I said "According to consumer reports, the chevy blazer explodes and does 8 flips if a squirrel shits on it"

and spread that around as if it is accepted fact..

"this sucks" usually is seen as an opinion, and opinions are not illegal, despite how untasteful they may be..
