Chapter 583 Public Interest Prosecution: Qingyao Media’s Counterattack against the United States
“On Black Wednesday, the U.S. stock market crashed…”
"Google's stock plummeted 10 percent..."
"Twitter's stock plummeted 13 percent..."
"Apple's stock plummeted 8 percent..."
"Internet company stocks plummeted, and the Prism program burst the Internet bubble..."
"The stock market crash is coming..."
Shocking headlines are floating around the global internet, but these news stories are not clickbait; they are real events.
A UN General Assembly meeting and a public outburst directly triggered an unprecedented stock market crash, with the internet industry being the first to suffer, and the US internet industry is enormous.
However, the biggest impact of the Prism Project was on them, especially the giant companies, because they were all involved. Even if they refuted the rumors, it would not stop the plummeting stock prices, because the evidence presented by Russia this time was too strong.
Not only that, Russia has also publicly announced that it will provide more data and evidence in the future. It is obvious that this time Russia is trying to trick the United States to death. After all, it is impossible not to maximize its benefits after finally seizing such an opportunity.
The US stock market crash triggered a chain reaction, driving a global decline in the internet industry. Even Chinese internet companies were significantly affected, especially those listed on the US stock market.
The US stock market plummeted, the European stock market plummeted, the Japanese stock market plummeted, and the Korean stock market plummeted. However, China and Russia were making huge profits.
Through early planning and through various institutions, they had previously shorted numerous stocks. Now that the stock market has plummeted, these funds have naturally profited enormously. Many of these short-selling giants are European and American capital. Russia and China also understand that to maximize profits, they must find a front-line player.
Some European and American capitalists, however, have no patriotic sentiments; as long as there's money to be made, they'll sell out the United States. Moreover, with so much to gain this time around, they naturally hit it off.
Some cried, some laughed, and the US government was in a state of chaos, trying to put out fires everywhere. Especially among its allies, what the US did this time was too unkind and too disheartening.
At the same time, they also quickly contacted China and Russia, especially Russia. Deng Nuo was in their hands now. The United States did not know how much intelligence Deng Nuo had stolen.
But the United States knows that between countries, there are only eternal interests, not eternal enemies. As long as the price is high, Dunno can be traded.
Just as there was chaos outside, Qingyao Media also took action.
Qingyao Media Headquarters has seen a surge in reporters in recent years, many of whom are from foreign media outlets.
"Thank you all for coming. Today, we at Qingyao Media solemnly announce that we are officially suing the US and Canadian governments..."
Tang Qing announced a major event with a cold expression. That was to formally sue the US and Canadian governments for abuse of power and their arbitrary detention of Su Yang.
"Besides this incident, we at Qingyao Media have also taken notice of the Prism Project. Therefore, our company has launched a charitable project. Our company will provide public interest litigation for ordinary citizens, ordinary shareholders, and consumers worldwide. Our most professional legal team will represent them in filing lawsuits against the US government free of charge, seeking compensation from the companies that leaked the information. To this end, we at Qingyao Media will prepare $100 million in legal fees and will invite a world-renowned legal team..."
When Tang Qing said this, the reporters at the scene became excited.
Holy crap, Qingyao Media is adding fuel to the fire. Right now, the US and major companies are shutting down, and Qingyao Media is just adding fuel to the fire.
Not only did he sue the U.S. and Canadian governments himself, he also donated $100 million to help people around the world file lawsuits for free.
Supporting ordinary consumers in seeking compensation is a typical case of watching the fun unfold. You should know that in developed countries, such lawsuits are very common. If a company's product has problems, it's only natural for ordinary consumers to seek compensation.
And according to their laws, the success rate of such class action lawsuits is very high. Many companies have faced such class action lawsuits, and based on past experience, the success rate of such class action lawsuits is very high.
Not to mention that there is a lot of evidence this time, and Qingyao Media has also put out 100 million US dollars to hire a professional team of lawyers for everyone. There are people behind the scenes who are stopping it and are willing to spend money. This is a big deal.
For example, this time Apple provided user information to the US intelligence agencies. As long as this matter is confirmed, Apple users around the world can sue Apple and demand compensation from Apple.
This is terrifying. With so many users around the world, there are too many of them. Even if each person pays $100 in compensation, it will probably bankrupt the company.
Now that Qingyao Media is willing to act as the organizer, spending $100 million to support global users in seeking compensation from the companies implicated in the Prism Project, why not join in? All you need to do is sign a power of attorney, and you're off to the races. Losing the lawsuit doesn't hurt, but winning is a boon for you. Who wouldn't want to participate?
Besides these consumers, there are also shareholders. Ordinary shareholders can also seek compensation from these companies. Because the stocks they held have depreciated significantly due to the illegal operations of these companies, shareholders can also seek compensation. Such cases have been numerous in the past.
Adding fuel to the fire, Qingyao Media's stance this time is clear. Even if they lose the lawsuit, it will still make the US and these internet companies feel disgusted.
With this lawsuit, it's impossible for these companies to successfully navigate it. As the saying goes, even if they don't die, they'll still have to endure some hardship. After all, things won't just disappear if you say so. You claim there were no leaks, but how did all this confidential information come from?
Even if you did not leak the information actively, you are still responsible if you leaked it passively.
"We at Qingyao Media would like to reiterate here that if Su Yang is not released soon, we will fight to the bitter end. I believe there is justice in this world. Even the United States cannot cover up everything..."
Tang Qing said this in a cold voice and left immediately after that.
After watching Tang Qing leave, countless reporters erupted in excitement. Big news! This is another big news story. Qingyao Media, a global cultural giant, currently has a significant international influence. Now, this company is vying with the US government and offering a free public interest lawsuit. Clearly, they're seeking revenge for Su Yang, which is causing a stir.
Countless reporters also quickly left the venue. In a very short period of time, news appeared in major media around the world. After seeing these news, netizens around the world immediately went wild.
