I am currently being threatened by my former employer (they are "compelled [to] take action against [me]") for the way I am running ANN, and how this allegedly violates my employment contract with them ("interfere _in any manner_ with any business relationship between the Company and any of its customers or business partners"). This might entail drastic changes to the relative freedom of speech ANN has always allowed its visitors, or ANN might close down altogether. Updated 10:00 CET.

Legal threats? : Comment 293 of 1057 | ANN.lu |

Only if he does not expose himself to further legal threats by doing so. Most communications of this nature often carry a confidentiality clause preventing the receiver from publishing that content verbatim.
Christian gave quotes from the threat but did not mention names. Accoding to Fabio this is wrong.
Had Christian mentioned names but not quoted directly from the threat, Fabio would have claimed he was making it up.
If Christian had published everything verbatim, Fabio would have criticised him for divulging confidential material.
Damned if you do...
Personally, I am ready to accept that some things have to be taken on trust in situations like this, and I have no evidence to make me doubt Christian's word. I do have plenty of evidence that tells me this action would be very much in BBRV's character.
So, unless I see an actual denial from the other side of this dispute, I choose to take Christian's word at face value. |
