eBay pays $46M to journalists it targeted in bizarre harassment campaign
摘要
eBay与三名前高管同意支付近5600万美元，就2019年针对两名记者的网络跟踪和骚扰事件达成和解。该案涉及向一对运营新闻网站的夫妇家中寄送活蟑螂、花圈、一本关于丧偶后生存的书籍以及血淋淋的猪面具，并通过电子邮件和推特发送骚扰信息，试图在受害者车上安装GPS追踪装置。受害者是马萨诸塞州纳蒂克的Ina和David Steiner，他们运营新闻网站Ecommer
eBay and three former executives agreed to pay nearly $56 million in a settlement over a macabre campaign of cyberstalking and harassment that targeted two journalists in 2019.
As we've previously written, the case involved deliveries of live cockroaches, a funeral wreath, a book about surviving the loss of a spouse, and a bloody pig mask to the home of a couple who run a news website. There were also harassing messages sent via email and Twitter, and an attempt to install a GPS tracking device on the victims' car. Criminal charges resulted in guilty pleas and prison terms for former eBay employees.
The victims were Ina and David Steiner of Natick, Massachusetts, who run the news website EcommerceBytes. "David and I officially settled the lawsuit we filed in 2021 against eBay and its former executives over the stalking and harassment campaign we endured in 2019 designed to stop our reporting," Ina Steiner wrote on EcommerceBytes yesterday. "The landmark civil rights settlement includes $55.7 million in compensation and charitable commitments."
