Why not name this company?
Because they'll come after me for slander / defamation. Australian law provides almost no protection for speaking out against this kind of thing. Does not matter if it's true or not, it's still considered slander/defamation because you said something that makes the company look bad.
jeez this is terrifying. can someone just give me peace of mind that I'm not going to be nuked
