"have a track record of making baseless claims that blatantly misrepresent the fact"
There is a looking in the mirror joke here I think...
You let an innocent man sit in jail for 5 years because your records were so fucked up it took you forever and a day to locate a single rental agreement... and we are to believe that all 100+ of the people coming after you were all car thieves who are just cashing in on your misfortune of being a massively shitty company rather than your shit company is unable to keep track of if & when cars are rented out and sends the cops to arrest people who were stupid enough to rent from you.
I mean did Hertz's lawyer just say the pissed off cops who after scaring an innocent man at the behest of Hertz looked at the valid contract & then called and told you to get your shit together were liars?

Imagine a world where this was given the coverage it deserved.
Somewhere after the obits & classifieds & only if they needed filler.
He isn't POTUS anymore, there is no fucking reason to give him more coverage. He helped murder citizens with his lies & fake medical information & for some reason because he threatens to file yet another meritless bullshit lawsuit (I mean of the 3 million hes threatened to file has he met one he hasn't run away from yet?) people care?
Racist Con-Man with badly executed make-up & fake hair flails around trying to get 15 min more fame. Let him get his ass on My Pillow Guys "news" site & ignore him.
He doesn't matter & is a well known liar.
His lies inspired an attempted coup of the government so he could stay in office and kill another million citizens with his lies.
He ruined the nation & managed to push our government into being his own petty grievance enforcers & yes men who will support him saying the sky is hot pink because keeping him happy means the base of idiots will support them too.
When your toddler misbehaves you put them in timeout, you don't make them the defacto leader of the house.

"were based on incontrovertibly false information provided by dubious sources who were maliciously attempting to mislead the public and tarnish our client’s reputation"
Is this about a pulitzer or the election....
"Please be guided accordingly."
Read as just ignore this shit, Trump's gonna pay me for doing this (despite the sheer number of people he's stiffed before, I'll get paid) and I'm going to waste some time & force you to spend money "defending" yourselves against a completely baseless claim that if state bars actually gave a shit about ethics would get me slapped around.

Re: Re:

No one would ever do this, so we need not think about it.
People are not malicious assholes, so we need not prepare.
Telling people we take their privacy seriously IS a valid defense plan.
I mean it is technically impossible to prepare for every possible vector but ROT13 isn't actually encryption of customer data.

Oh hey, the Governor was right!
"warnings earlier that day from no less than Gov. Tim Walz that white supremacists were roaming the city looking for trouble."
Of course these poor misunderstood officers will remain on the job & be returned to the job due to a stupid contract provisions.
They lied, and lied, and lied.
They turned off their cameras, but if you look at what they were willing to do ON camera you should be terrified what they are willing to do when no one is looking.
I get it cops are human & get frustrated but they are supposed to be professionals, not good ole boys tagging darkies under the cover of night so they can hoot & holler about how awesome they are.
Pity we can't make all of the appeals courts have to watch this & ask them to explain how they would apply QI so we could rule them unfit for their job.

No one would EVER misuse this feature & making them submit documentation makes it impossible for them to fool us.
First thing we do is lock the account & block all access...
Because if someone tells us the person is dead, they would never attempt to login and tell us we were wrong or anything.
And we definitely shouldn't reach out to the registered email with a note of condolence, which would make the average person respond with WTF are you talking about I'm alive you idiots.

"Marketers should provide cancellation mechanisms that are at least as easy to use as the method the consumer used to buy the product or service in the first place."
Government is very naive.
This statement makes total sense, but it will never happen until there is a punishment for not doing it.
Its also hysterical when there are several notorious companies who literally are the only game in town & still make it difficult for customers who are fed up to get away from them.
ProTip (for industry): Happy consumers don't want to leave. Perhaps instead of trying to make it more difficult you should consider what the fsck you are doing to them to make them willing to undertake the massive hassle to tell you to fsck off.
One would think that even small improvements to the services would be cheaper than paying retention agents to make people hate you that much more.

"Is Protecting Copyright More Important Than Saving Lives During The COVID-19 Pandemic?"
Isn't having to even ask the question the answer?
Millions of people on the planet are dead, millions more will still die, and we have people who make movies screaming that sharing the sacred IP without getting their chest of gold will kill us all.
The truly sad thing is that they are crying wolf yet again & even with bodies laying on the ground at their feet they care more about if they might lose a nickel.
Oh hey we found the 1 thing copyright can't do... motivate people to save others even if doing so doesn't directly cost them anything.
