[QUOTE="Mannahnin, post: 8679582, member: 7026594"] I don't think they're similar at all. I'm really confused about why you think so. This is just them saying "If you defame us in public as a marketing tactic instead of working with us as business partner, we reserve the right to reserve service to you". Which is perfectly fair and totally within their rights, and the only reason they even had to say it was because one or more bad-faith actors were engaged in exactly this kind of misbehavior. The courts are for seeking and enforcing a criminal or civil penalty. They're not talking about suing or prosecuting people. Just about exercising their freedom of association not to do business with a publisher who talks naughty word about them in public and/or encourages their fans to abuse DT's customer service. It's not a pre-emptive threat. It's a policy statement to clarify how they're going to respond, or may respond, to certain bad and deleterious business practices, which they're only making because one or more jerks already engaged in those hostile practices. 🤷♂️ [/QUOTE]
