I have read a few threads of late were the name of a buisness has been removed. I have been thinking about this and I don't seem to understand how there can be any legal ramifications from personal opinions posted on public forums. I am thinking the same laws apply to online newspapers, facebook, msn, yahoo etc.
I also worked for Jayco, a company that was starting to get a lot of bad opinions expressed on similar forums, their response was not legal action but to hold a meeting with all production employees to illustrate how important it was in the internet age to do it right. I think this is a risk any buisness takes and if they treat the customers right and a be honest then surely we are not likely to see dishonest posts that are purely out to destroy a buisness. If there are personal moral reasons for not wanting a buisness named then that is O.K but if there are no legal concerns then can we have them named.
