I get that you shouldn't be able to get away with slandering a company, but on the other hand I feel this can be abused to silence dissent.

[QUOTE=areolop;43521329]Freedom of speech is really only for speaking out against the government. Not against a private party. Writing a completely false statement about someone is slander[/QUOTE] I still think it is wrong to request names of anonymous critics. It should be site's responsibility to moderate the reviews.
Lesson learned: If I'm gonna post negative reviews I simply have to do it behind seven proxies.
