>Factual statements about bad employers

and how is this hypothetical website you're hyping supposed to uncover the factuality of statements random people from the internet are posting?

Same way any other website with user-generated content deals with it. The website has broad immunity as a platform, but is expected to take down content that would be illegal when notified.

Random people on the Internet have been at it long enough that there is plenty of precedent to establish that you can safely host a platform. But then again, I am not a lawyer, I am not your lawyer, and for legal reasons this is not the legal definition of legal advice, etc.

I guess it needs to be upvoted by other verified users? say if user A is claiming that user C hasn't paid the bill,l. User B can come in and verify it also happened to them. or they need to sign in using Linkedin for credibility. and provide text or photo evidence?
