Freedom of speech implies not being told how to use it. You can't put rules on freedom of speech for then it's no longer freedom. So thumbs down on this video. Sue me.

I wrote a deservedly bad review on an attorney. He wrote me a letter threatening me to remove it or he would sue me. I feel i have a right to freedom of speech. I wish someone with a legal mind would read my review and provide an opinion.

I reviews where a buyer has ordered a product with the intention of giving a one star negative review saying it didn’t fit. The reason it didn’t fit is because the buyer did not check the dimensions before ordering. The reason behind the purchase was to discredit the company product with one star review suspected to instigated by a competitor or unhappy customer telling their friends to do the same. Their motive is to damage the seller product ranking. Happens a lot on the largest online platform.

Yeah, and if a company has more money than you, they can basically sue you into silence. And that’s disgusting. Just because somebody has more money than you they can drag this out into court and screw your freedom of speech.

A college is calling me 10 times a day and I was irritated and wrote a bad review about how they are annoying me by calling me 10 times a day
Now just got a mail that they will sue me

If you are stupid enough to leave specific details in your review they can pinpoint who you are and that’s how they sue. Don’t be stupid and use your real information on the internet, that’s how you get psychopaths focused on stalking you
