Sure - but what indication is there that they made false promises?

Look at the original interviews and you will see that many things claimed to be “promises” where actually just statements that something is being tried and may succeed.

Likely not a lie, rather a broken promise.

The fact is that they made the assurance, and then lied and said they never gave such an assurance. If you think lying isn't nefarious, that's your outlook.

Doesn't matter if you believe it, they still advertised it and should be punished for breaking a promise like that.

Correct - but it also shows that they continue to actively mislead people.

Aka more promises from proven liars.

btmorex | karma 2269 | avg karma 7.46 · | 2011-04-03 05:19:59+00:00

My point is they were either wrong or lying. Both possibilities are pretty worrying.

Please don't call it a lie. It means that they knowingly presented something they knew to be false as the truth. So far I have seen no evidence to support that.

orestarod | karma 192 | avg karma 0.83 · | 2021-09-07 11:03:32

They did promise that, though. One lie leads to infinite more.

kube-system | karma 21374 | avg karma 2.36 · | 2023-11-07 20:40:35

what exactly did they say that was not true?

burnerthrow008 | karma 153 | avg karma 1.08 · | 2024-03-05 04:27:33

What were the false statements?

Nasrudith | karma 5818 | avg karma 1.2 · | 2019-07-11 14:01:36

How can you tell that they weren't? There are always pretexts and blindly trusting face value explanations for a policy is dangerously naive.

lghh | karma 2295 | avg karma 3.8 · | 2021-12-29 11:44:34

I don't see any evidence that they intentionally chose to lie. Do you?

tntn | karma 1101 | avg karma 3.76 · | 2018-08-02 14:28:54+00:00

Yes. It demonstrates that their claims have been complete BS.

pbreit | karma 9925 | avg karma 1.55 · | 2021-04-27 01:25:58+00:00

Not clear to me that they were lying. Also not clear they had anything to gain.

99_00 | karma 1271 | avg karma 1.33 · | 2022-05-10 11:47:44

They don't lie. They mislead.

mtlmtlmtlmtl | karma 5071 | avg karma 2.88 · | 2023-06-04 08:30:58

Clearly they lied, if their policy says otherwise.

And my understanding is that anyone who believes that promise is a fool, because they'll just stuff you into that duffle bag when you step out in your pajamas at 7 am to pick up the Tuesday morning paper. Or jab you with a ricin-laden umbrella. Or put polonium in your tea, and hold a press conference where they say they totally didn't do it, with the periodic table of elements as a backdrop.

lawpoop | karma 848 | avg karma 2.24 · | 2017-07-30 12:51:39+00:00

What were the false claims?
