And winner of the worst article goes to:
http://gizmodo.com/google-bans-hundreds-of-accounts-for-participating-in-p-1789155619
That article painted DD in a really bad light.
I'm not even sure if anything they said is accurate

It seemed like they didn't even do any research into what actually happened.

Yup.
Ars is usually far better then most.

It's why I suggested them from the beginning.
One of the few sites that actually bother to understand what they're writing about.

Wow. Never thought I'd see DD cited on Google News FP.

Congrats Dan, DD/DDF is on a roll!

On a side note, anyone lose the use of their main phone number via GV? Nix that, I see it was asked already.

The various sites' headlines in covering such stories (whether it's a Google, Apple, or Facebook story) shows you their bias.

Dan didn't tell anybody to do anything, there weren't any posts on DDMS about this at all.

Now I read those other posts you quoted, are you going to ask them to revise their blog posts? Disgusting defamation.

If it's a legit account, send info to dan@dansdeals.com, and he'll help you out.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.
