A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yes exactly it creates an unsolvable public relations crisis for the corporation and they can't use any of their favorite dirty tricks to get out of it
Yup.
Pull some strings to keep stories out of traditional print media about it? The stuff on social media has already been clipped and reposted a billion times.
Buried the plaintiff's legal team in paperwork? Here's another video on your obviously scummy tactics that clearly indicate to most average people you're not acting in good faith and probably have something to hide/defend that's unjust, making even less people trust your company going forward.
Know you won't get sued for that much because it's just one claimaint? A ton of people who watched the videos now want to sign on to a class action.
The only solution if they're truly in the wrong is to fix the problem, or pay up in court.

Or hope it blows over because people's memories are notoriously short so that sometimes works too 💀
