Wrong as usual, Alexis.  Those of us who share negative information in
our possession are more than accustomed to overly sensitive companies
threatening us with legal action and economic sanctions.  As far as I'm
concerned, we'd all be better off if the marketing bozos didn't even
know about the network, leaving it as a valuable information resource
for those of us on the other sides of things.  An information resource
that contains only positive, smiley face things and can't warn people
about traps and obstacles they may face is a useless resource.
Increased marketing awareness of the networks can only lead to
increased pressure to suppress critical messages.
