This married couple gets bashed by a disgruntled family member, wins an injunction in court and they still cannot get the internet slander removed from rip off report. The problem still is that the person who wrote the comments are liable, not the website. Judges don’t want to start forcing websites to take things down as it will start hurting the “interactivity on the web”. While I would never want the freedom of interaction to be restricted online, if something is flat out defamatory, and it told so in a court of law, Rip Off Report should have to remove it.

 

We know first hand how this couple feels. We have also been attacked by a competitor and so called “Spam Complainers” in Rip Off Report. We had to use our tools to fight it so no one could find it.

 

One day, something will be done, I am sure of it.
