eBay's Troubling Settlement: A Cautionary Tale of Corporate Accountability A nearly $56 million payout to David and Ina Steiner has raised disturbing questions about eBay's commitment to protecting its critics.
The couple, who run the website EcommerceBytes, claimed they were stalked by an eBay executive in a systematic campaign of harassment aimed at silencing them.
The lawsuit alleged that the Steiners' reporting had made them targets for online attacks, including having their personal data shared publicly.
