Because it would be very strange for a police state like nation to allow freedom of the press
The company's slander came from a place of them accusing the government of suppressing the media needlessly, for requesting a cease-and-desist
The press are a corporation at the end of the day and so are subject to the same laws as any other business with a public broadcast
Does freedom of the press exist in your definitely not orwellian nation ?
personally its my opinion that its subjective where the line between privacy and expression is made in the case of military opperations because i dont actually trust militarys to be within the best interest of their soldiers but at the same time i dont want to give the media the right to claim anything they want to claim and have complete control over the narritive of what the military does nor the ability to be absolved of all laws while doing it
If this helps understand the dispute, the combat was between space soldiers and a hiveminded suicide-bombing race of aliens
"the government supressing the media needlessly" is an opinion, it cant be slander even if you think its objectively true
How would that help?
They could have asked for consent and the government would have given it, as long as there was a shock warning
It was mainly a reference to the earlier point of the citizenry needing to know what the government had done in battle
Accountability is welcome but there are correct channels to go through for thatr
slander would be saying the government actually did something it didint do and the government having evidence to the contrary
the media didint do that, all they did was say in their opinion what the government was doing violated what the government should do
An intergalactic mega corp is basically a nation unto themselves
Treat them as a foreign nation, not as a business
i think they are entitled but they arnt slanderous
if they said the govenrment threatened them with more than a cease and dissist and it wasent true then that would count
Just level a massive fine against them with the stated intent to distribute it to the families of the soldiers
Point to the laws they broke and say that if they cannot abide by the rules their operating permits will be revoked
That's the general process, Blackhawk- if they refuse to pay the fine we're shutting them down
yeah its more useful to be a hardass than play their game, if you come at them with the "you told teacher on me" arguement its not going to work out well for you, and if the dm simply thinks your wrong and has control over the entire universe and will punish you nomatter what you do so coming down on them fairly leads them turning the universe against you even though that should be a stupid event for anyone in the universe to do that for then your dm is a dick or ignorent or both
Speaking as a DM theres nothing worse than being questioned and I have no idea how mature whoever is running this game
Id guess they're in highschool
its john cena
Its not a dick move so much as it is a punishment tactic
Nothing pisses people off more than one player wasting time by arguing with the DM
it can be a dick move
agreed
Im also guessing that this hypothetical mega corp has a very large security force
stupid and evil sit shoulder to shoulder on the bus
Be prepared for something dumb to happen as you shut them down
I think what's going to happen is the DM is gonna have their security kill a bunch of my men, then there'll be a slanderous news broadcast about me to other nations
So I'm just launching my own broadcast

@Paladin308 I know there is a republican movement in Australia to break away from the Crown is there anything like that in Canada?
Not as such, at least not to a significant degree
The Crown is largely seen as symbolic, with no real power
Governor General just acts a tourist atraction?
Basically
They rubber stamp everything passed by the government
If they ever chose not to it would probably lead to Canada renouncing ties to the crown
