> Even though the ruling occurred in a U.S. federal court, Judge Tse said he made the ruling based on New Zealand law, as Zuru intends to sue in that jurisdiction. Therefore, the court's ruling was decided based on New Zealand law's definition of defamation, and not the U.S. legal definition.
This is ridiculous.
A US judge should not unmask someone's privacy on behalf of a company in NZ that hasn't filed a defamation lawsuit in the US against the poster. The NZ company should file a US case and then convince the judge to unmask the poster.
This was social engineering on the part of the NZ company and was also Judge Tse overstepping his authority. There is no reason to even have laws in the US, when a judge can decide to apply foreign law that doesn't originate or cover people here.
