Comment on Court to Yelp: Reveal names of negative reviewersparent

Comments

Does Yelp have any duty to "protect" them?

Most of the EULAs / privacy agreements that I've bothered reading typically state that they will not share your private info with any 3rd party, but may share it with law officers as part of a criminal investigation. Also, as I understand it, I can sue anybody for just about any infraction- imagined or otherwise. Doesn't mean I would win, of course, but that's beside the point.

IANAL, don't use Yelp, have never read their agreements, and don't know if this situation could even be construed to be a criminal investigation.

may share it with law officers as part of a criminal investigation

Isn't this a civil investigation?
