Cloud Innovation issued a cease and desist letter to Joe Hall demanding the removal of a tweet that only shared a link to a Medium article discussing AfriNIC. The letter claims the link constitutes defamation, despite the tweet containing no false information. This move drew public attention and criticism, underscoring the strange legal theory that sharing a hyperlink can lead to liability for the content it points to. This situation raises significant concerns regarding legal interpretations in digital communications and freedom of information.
Cloud Innovation's legal threat surrounding a shared link raises questions about the implications of defamation in digital communications, highlighting the absurdity of the claim that sharing a link constitutes liability for the content of that link.
The pushback against Cloud Innovation's cease and desist letter suggests a growing awareness and resistance to such legal tactics, ultimately promoting widespread engagement with the shared article discussing AfriNIC's complexities.
