SuperMicro, Apple, Amazon, and others could sue Bloomberg.

But they didn't.

I guess if you sue every news outlet for Rumours then Apple would be basically suing everyone. My problem is, why Apple and Amazon has such as "restrained" action to Bloomberg. May be the story isn't true, but something do smells fishy to me.

Apple isn't going to win a libel case because some source lied or made a mistake, and calling more attention to it is bad PR. It's extremely unlikely that Bloomberg team did this with malicious lies.

Yet.

All 3 have issued firm denials rarely given from companies today. I don't think any of them have been restrained at all.

This is the same logic Musk applied to “pedo guy” and it was just as ridiculous then. A lack of legal action is in no way an admission that the story was accurate.

Accusing two Trillion dollar company with allegation on a national security level from a reasonably respected Business Journal is not the same as Mush calling another guy pedo.

Although I do agree A lack of legal action is in no way an admission that the story was accurate, I just thought they should do something more.
