Lies would qualify as defamatory. But most guys talked about in groups like this are not added on a whim. And to have that many women mentioning him, there isn't much chance of all 27 lying. Hell, the fact that there even is 27 women that dated him that found the page... says alot.
Why? Just because a lot of people are saying bad stuff about you, doesn't mean it is true. Seeing how they mentioned verifiable things, like "he has an STD", they could easily be proven in court. The lawsuit exists because he didn't know those women, who were defaming him, to a group of 100k women. 27 out of 100k randos lying, especially moderators of the group? That doesn't seem unlikely, especially if you try to get a post "moving" so there isn't empty space for people who are asking about a dude.
Where did you see that?
It's in the article. The Facebook group was nationwide, not just local people.
The article says the facebook group was local. It also says there is a nationwide network of similar groups. It doesn't say he didn't know the women and there is no evidence either way of who is lying. Given that facebook was made for men to judge and talk about women online i think it's high time it went the other way too.
It actually does. 27 people, chances are almost zero they are all randomly lying without any clear motive.
Guy seems questionable, but I dunno man, Internet's weird. Snape Wives was a thing.
Oh absolutely. The article is very vague, but his behaviour seems quite fishy, based on the little information we have...
Most women are probably not posting on a whim, but there are certainly people out there who thrive on drama and enjoy lying about people just to get a thrill out of it.
