i.e. "FFS stop writing reviews, but assume the worst is true and stay the hell away from these clowns"

Wow. That statement is the worst kind of review any potential employee could ever read.

Yeah. Definitely Streisand effected themselves. Wonder if they can sue their own legal counsel for causing themselves so much monetary loss (given that's the grounds they're using to de-anonymize the reviewers)?

Yah. The reviews didn't even look that bad.

Nothing like getting lots of press for suing critical employees to improve your rep.

The... remaining reviews may not look that bad. I imagine a scenario may exist where a fired employee has to sign an NDA and take down their review to receive severance or suchlike.

They didn't sue the employees.

Not yet, but they need to know who the employees are, first.

In their filing against Glassdoor, they declared their intent to sue the employees.

The judge's order only permits them to use the information for the purpose of pursuing defamation actions in New Zealand:

> 5. Zuru may use the information disclosed by Glassdoor only for purposes of the anticipated defamation action in New Zealand.

Agreed. This banner is the new warrant canary [1]

The Legal Action Canary?

A canary is something which is present when everything is fine and removed when the situation changes. It’s a stealthy technique for when you can’t be explicit. Adding a giant red warning at the top of a page is the opposite of a canary.
