As reported this week on TechCrunch, The Funded has been sued by EDF Ventures. EDF is upset because someone anonymously wrote something bad (heaven forbid!) about them.
Fortunately, The Funded shares my views that websites should log nothing, and hasn’t been logging for quite some time. As such, EDF’s subpoena is worthless. This will save a lot of people a whole lot of time, grief, and money in avoiding the courts. I hope the major online sites follow suit before this gets really out of hand – because that is where it is going.
As for EDF – I hope they learn something from this. If nothing else, they should get thicker skin!
