Because it’s pretty much all public knowledge. There’s nothing novel there. It’s very obviously a distraction and obfuscation tactic.
It’s a tactic commonly used as a defense strategy by corporate attorneys, especially when defending against private parties: you simply inundate the opposing side with reams of borderline irrelevant bullshit. Makes it substantially harder to find pertinent documents, and also serves to delay the discovery that maybe something important was left out.
This is the kind of shit i would love to see AI destroy but it seems more likely we're only going to get the shitty parts of AI instead
There's a super easy way to solve this. Especially for corporations.
"The company's operations will be suspended during the suit, until such time as the court can determine whether the company is operating illegally."
You want to flood the zone with shit to draw out your court case for 18 months until everyone loses interest? You can still do that. But you won't be making any money while you do, and I expect your employees still need paychecks if you want them to still be there when this wraps up.
This isn't a silver bullet for every sort of court case, but I think this is a very sensible and obvious solution to corporate crimes.
Open to abuse, unfortunately. If even the most trivial of cases takes a week to resolve, then you could shut any company down by filling fifty suits.
The real solution would be for the judge to actually do their job and to penalise companies for doing that kind of bullshit.
