MODERATORS
To be fair, their job is also to recommend the course of action least likely to get Valve sued.
Least likely to ~~get Valve sued~~ lose Valve money in a lawsuit*
Frivolous lawsuits happen all the time. You're never going to avoid all of them, and shouldn't be trying to. The lawyer's job is to make sure that all their ducks are in a row for WHEN they get sued so that the judge can review all the information and throw the lawsuit out.
Well said.
No. Their job is to find the legal gray area to operate in so that if they get sued they're not instantly guaranteed to lose. Do you think Meta hires lawyers who tell them "maybe don't spy on people" instead of lawyers who will fight all the fines EU throws at their way? Companies don't hire lawyers just so they could say something can't be done, they're hired to find a way to get it done or find an irrefutable point why it can't be done. The fact that Valve did go ahead with the hands-off approach shows that the lawyer didn't do their job properly when they presented their opinion.
Only if they ask for that advice, presumably
