Reputation is Not a Human Right, It's Something One Earns
One can also lose one's reputation for harming women
LAST October the Microsofters tried to put pressure on me to censor articles that I had published 3 years earlier [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. They kept sending intimidating message via "guns for hire" who engage in reputation laundering and say they would even do this for people who probably committed sexual crimes (to quote, "highly sensitive allegations of a sexual nature").
So instead of acting like a poor law firm it's becoming a PR firm; it is, instead serving truth/justice/law, misusing the status/licence to do reputation laundering for thugs, even from other continents.
"Generally speaking," I told my lawyer back in October, "reporting often damages someone's reputation; it exposes wrongdoing. To say that any such reporting/journalism would be liable is to say that newspapers are not permitted to exercise their freedom (free press requires protections)."
More than 4 months have passed, they seem to have "cold feet" about what they did (they wanted to settle on censorship alone), and a lot of suspicious things have happened lately. Those include: 1) Abusive messages. 2) Buying ads in the form of "puff pieces" (or placements) in some publications, just like the EPO. 3) Awkward silences and delays.
Generally, or universally, if you start a lawsuit with the premise that reporting crimes against women is "committing the crime of journalism", you won't get very far. Some time soon we'll show what happened when a high-profile rich person attempted this in California. Of course that led to a massive Streisand Effect. By sheer coincidence, this happened the same week the "guns for hire" contacted us. █
