Q: Can company take my freedom of speech.
I left a review of my not so good experience I had with a company. They emailed me saying I had 72hrs to remove or I would face penalties. They sent me a copy of fine print in contract I sign that says I can not leave anything negative. I feel this is not legally or morally right. I’m seeking legal advice. I relay on reviews just as others do and this company is not being honest and only allowing positive post. Which is very misleading to someone seeking their services. Can they sue me based on provisions in the contract
Thank you
A: An Illinois attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks. You raise valid freedom of speech issues. However, that would not prevent the company from suing. Good luck
