[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]can't some lawyer out there answer why this isn't the essence of reckless libel?  why can't comet sue for libel?[/quote]

Who in particular would you like to sue for commiting libel? Anonymous sources and random bloggers have skinny wallets.

As an aside, a couple of those pics were a bit creepy (e.g., toddler taped to table in restaurant without context). A small business owner could have foreseen how publicly posting them could result in negative feedback. [/quote]

the NYTimes article says that the photographs were taken from personal social media pages of employees of the pizzeria and from personal Facebook pages of customers (families with kids, like mine) that had liked Comet online.  the photographs were not apparently published by Comet on its website.  I read parts of a Reddit posting that seems to have been part of the creation of the conspiracy and it was full of appalling lies, including that the pizzeria is decorated with sex images and symbols, that the bathrooms are covered with images of naked women and sex graffiti and so on. I have been to those bathrooms many times with my two little girls and never saw anything remotely like that. it is unfair to blame a business for what clearly is a deliberately fabricated lie. according to the NYtimes some photographs were taken from random sites with nothing to do with Comet or DC.

If you post something online, it can be held against you forever. Be careful what you post online, especially about your kids.
