4While I agree, SE hands are tied now in cuffs made of money/law. Their "legal team" ordered all SE employees to keep silent until a new notice, probably until the lawsuit will be done, i.e. several years. I still want to think David wanted to to something back when he posted his apology, but then the legal team took the reins and put him in place, binding his, and all other SE management, hands with unbreakable cuffs.– user152859Commented Dec 2, 2019 at 16:06

10Good for you, FrankerZ. Lawyers or no, Stack Exchange could fix this problem EASILY and IMMEDIATELY. They are still actively making it worse.– Ask About MonicaCommented Dec 2, 2019 at 16:42

9@ShadowThePrincessWizard the legal team is not the boss. If the CEO decides to resolve this in another way, the legal team can't stop him. He just doesn't want to!– JosefCommented Dec 3, 2019 at 17:33

@Josef if he's told "if you do it your way, you'll have to pay millions and go bankrupt for sure", what can he do? Keeping the company alive is his first priority. And yeah, this makes the legal team the real boss.– user152859Commented Dec 3, 2019 at 23:54

@ShadowThePrincessWizard more likely that "admitting wrongdoing MAY expose you to a large short-term liability" while not saying that "paying your lawyers to drag it out for years WILL cost you a lot in long-term legal bills and cause ongoing loss of trust."– HellionCommented Dec 4, 2019 at 13:42

1@Hellion risk of losing the company here and now is scary enough... so I can see the motive of the CEO. The future is important, but present even more. Still, don't think I justify this a bit, just sharing my thoughts.– user152859Commented Dec 4, 2019 at 13:48

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. stack-overflow), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
