As John Gruber writes after every single link to Bloomberg: * Bloomberg, of course, is the publication that published “The Big Hack” in October 2018 — a sensational story alleging that data centers of Apple, Amazon, and dozens of other companies were compromised by China’s intelligence services. The story presented no confirmable evidence at all, was vehemently denied by all companies involved, has not been confirmed…

Gruber can write what he wants, but is there any evidence that Bloomberg's institutional credibility was impacted in anyway.

I see tons of articles from Bloomberg being posted on HN, where people care about that issue. Outside of this, no one cared and there are people on both camps as far as that story is concerned.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Don't forget their "market moving bonuses" https://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2013/12/the-bloomberg-m...

If a story is found to be false and moves Bloomberg stock down, does that still qualify for a bonus?

Bloomberg is a private company.

The article reads like a bad hit job it tries to paint facebooks position as bleak while ignore all its products have continued to experience amazing growth. It paints a picture of what the author want the world to be like rather than reality. One of the biggest examples is how they view regulation as a risk to Facebook while Facebooks views it as a guarantee of market dominance.

To me it reads like an interview with Systrom.

Yes. Bloomberg uses their publication to manipulate the stock market to the advantage of insiders. This is completely obvious based on the huge number of absolute bullshit fabricated stories where they and their anonymous sources are the only starting point.

I forget what country it was... somewhere in northern Europe.

(looks like it might be Bangladesh (see below for link))

They passed legislation that allows a RIVER to have rights and lawyers can sue on its behalf.

We need similar legislation for reality. We have about 50% of the country that literally doesn't give a shit about lying.

The truth should have rights to sue.

Now I KNOW there is a fuzzy ground but there are also things that are clearly, provably false.

If a politician says he was in the United States, yet there are records, showing he was in Germany, and you can prove damages, you should be able to sue.

We already have limits to the 1st amendment. You can't libel or slander someone for example. The truth needs to be protected. Otherwise we're doomed.
