This is not a serious BOD. This is going to the courts, and it couldn't happen any sooner.

Who do you imagine is going to sue, and on what basis?

The information? Yes, they are highly focused on the tech industry and very diligent. They make most (all?) of their revenue on subscriptions, so that limits their incentives to make clickbait content.

Yes, this is one of the top outlets focused on the valley tech scene. It's subscription based, and they are more expensive than most others, which is probably why you haven't seen it posted much.
