Tramlink Censorship

[snip] essentially it sounds like Tramlink and Bombardier are saying, "You have libeled us on your site, but we're not going to tell you where, when and how, so you'll have to take the whole thing down." Personally I would put any threatening e-mails, letters and transcripts of telephone calls on the web site. Bullies don't like daylight being shone on their activities. It's a standard bluff all right, and totally unreasonable, ie refusing to be specific, because of course the libel isn't really the issue. They just want to stop anyone saying anything at all about them. Unfortunately, they will probably have written to the ISP at the same time, and some ISPs just cave in instantly with no consideration of the validity of the complaint. So the site might have to be moved. Shouldn't give in to this kind of bullying though. |
