Uniview Falsely Banned In Kirschenbaum Newsletter
Uniview / UNV was falsely blacklisted in industry attorney Ken Kirschenbaum's newsletter titled "Comprehensive list of banned equipment". Kirschenbaum defended the newsletter, saying "I posted comment by someone else; no verification. Don't shoot the messenger"
In this note, we examine the responsibilities, or lack thereof, that publishers have in releasing false information and the risks in falsely blacklisting PRC companies.
