Again you missed my point. I'm not defending the company, I was simply
pointing out to Adam that certain type of unsupported statements could
get him in trouble. There are thousands of ways to complain about
companies' products/services without getting in trouble with law. You
can express your opinions in any form you want, but when you make a
public statement accusing a company of criminal activities you better
make sure you can support it if you're taken to court. I informed Adam
of this fact simply to protect him from himself. BTW, the really
stupid thing he did was post his  statement from his employer's
account. Many people have lost jobs this way.
