First time? A company suing because people aren't buying its products!!!

[pooya87]

I just read this news and I can't stop laughing.
McDonald's is said to be planning to sue people who have been refusing to buy its products over the past months leading to their $1.3 million loss. This is due to a boycott movement where people in a lot of countries are sanctioning this company because of its support of the Zionist regime that is occupying Palestine and is committing genocide there.

Imagine if some day you are out and about, suddenly someone wearing a chicken suit puts a gun to your head forcing you to buy their fast food or they'll shoot you

The boycott of some products produced in or owned by Israel is growing. There has been a campaign from various NGOs that promotes boycotting of any product connected to Israel. These organisations are encouraging people to boycott products from companies like  Puma, Siemens, Airbnb, Disney, McDonald’s, Pizza Hut, Domino’s Pizza, and Burger King. Some firms are now looking for diverse ways to sell Israeli products, in France supermarkets like Lidl and Carrefour mislabel Israeli products as Moroccan to dodge boycott

Hahahaha!!!! This will be a terrible situation because you will be forced to pay for what you don't really need. But I wonder if McDonald's Malaysia will be able to win this case of alleged false and defamatory statements against Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS). I think the NGO has the right to organise campaigns because that is their fundamental right. And the people also have the right to spend money on what they like. But the fast food is claiming that BDS wrongly linked them to the killing happening in Gaza which has led to losses, job cuts, and closures. I think it is up to the court to decide the case. However, I think everything should be done to end the continuous killings of innocent citizens in Gaza.

[icalical]

I have been told by many Israel supporters that these kind of Boycott is useless and has no effect at all, to the company or to Israel, but turns out it make some impact. Moreover, who will be sued for doing the BDS, it is a decentralized collective movement, no one is paying for those people to stop or boycotting any product, most of them aren't even encouraging/discouraging people to do the BDS, people are just stating that they are boycotting some products. That will be a very tough case to be brought into court.

The source is certainly "trustworthy"
Most likely an ordinary throw-in, no more than that.  And there are several reasons for this assessment:
- Yes I agree that the Western judicial system sometimes "shows a show". But first of all - the legal force of for example Pennsylvania court has no legal force on the territory of the listed countries.
- Secondly, although the American judicial system, I repeat, surprises others, but they are always oriented on the legislative basis, and freedom of choice is one of the foundations of the Western world.

So either a link to an adequate source, or thanks for the funny New Year's tale

With a quick look at your post history, you basically consider Reuters an "adequate" source since you namedrop it often although without providing any link and apparently only as long as it is saying stuff that you like and other times when you don't like it, Reuters becomes not "trustworthy"
Good to know you are still a desperate propagandist.

It is ridiculous because they can actually focus and dedicate the funds that they will use to pursue a court case on rebranded marketing, and other things like giving back to the community, so that they can improve their status and have a good score with community members who already frown at them for supporting the zionist movements.

The situation the company has put themselves should be a lesson to other established brands and company to be careful before showing support or taking sides with any movement or cause. Sometimes as a company or brand, keep your opinions to yourself, neutrality will safe you from some loses that can be made by picking sides.

Well in as much as this news sound absurd I think the story isn't yet complete, if this news is true then there may have been an agreement between McDonald's and those they are suing obviously and from the looks of things the agreement was never meet.
Also this sort of news can be a fabricated I don't believe McDonald's would want such negative Media attention.

haha, this is the craziest news I've ever read, if that's what they're going to do then I have to be careful when I'm on the road, maybe one day I'll be held at gunpoint by a McDonald's custom chicken lol
what they are planning is truly unethical, I think the boycott of products supporting Israel is not only happening this time (although this year is the worst) but they should be able to look for other ideas to continue to retain their customers such as charging discounts or enforcing working hours (shifts) for permanent employees. based on data, McDonald's profits each year are quite large, so it's a little funny to hear that they are experiencing losses, can they not cover the losses they are currently claiming from the profits they have earned so far?

[Furious 7]

This can be a very funny thing in the end because despite the current reason for not buying some products because of political issues, I don't think something like this can be used as a demand, let alone directly into the legal realm.

I don't want to discuss the issue of boycotts or the like but buying a product is up to the actual consumer when indeed the product is not purchased then indeed we cannot blame the consumer in this case because after all it is someone's personal right not to buy.
But if you really want to sue for boycott reasons that make the product not sell well then I think there is no need to take responsibility in this case because all must be sued including the root causes of political problems that occur in Israel and Palestine because it all boils down from there at first.

The thing is that they are in the right here, it's gonna sound stupid (like that one time they slandered a poor old woman who took them to court after she sustained 3rd degree burns from getting Mcdonald's Coffee spilled over her lap) but the fact is that they are getting hated for what they believe in, and since the topic of Nazism and genocide is pretty much still a hot topic up til now to be tagged as such has costed them a lot, and there really isn't anything they can do at this point except either take the hit like a champ or actually do something about it, which in this case they did. It's only understandable given the circumstances the company has been in and besides the fact that this is going to make headlines, they are definitely by no means in the wrong or stupid here.

Anyway, can't wait to see how this is going to affect Mcdonald's even more in the future. As tensions rise between Palestine and Israel and as more and more people are outed to be supportive of the genocidal acts that the latter is actively committing. 

[Solosanz]

It means the boycott is working, this is the reason why many of them give a big discount.

We need to wait which is the next brand will complain the boycott organization, I guess Starbucks?

McDonald will have their own army to fight against people who don't want to buy their products. McDonald's army aim to make people become obese or at least they have weight more than 270 lbs.

[Catenaccio]

How will they enforce it in practice?

It sounds impossible because customers are custodying their money and they can use their money to purchase anything or just keep their money in pockets.

McDonald can not steal money from customers and can not force their customers to buy McDonald products. It is like want to KYC cryptocurrency wallets, addresses that are practically impossible.

I really dislike this behavoir from McDonald. They can not blame their business loss on customers and force customers sharing their business loss.

It would be quite hilarious if such a thing should eventually happen but then, desperation can make one do anything right?

 I got from the news that they are actually suing the BDS movement for linking them to  supporting the Israeli's genocidal war whereas Malaysia being a Muslim country is heavily in support of the Palestinians and they are doing that simply because they feel they've being wrongly attached. The boycott is really affecting business and this branch of McDonald's in Malaysia is feeling the heat as well.

[CODE200]

Well, this is the dystopian future that they want us to live in, it's a boring one but it's slowly going to kill your soul. McDonald's doing this bullshit of a lawsuit is definitely the goofiest of them all, the fact that they held the people responsible for their stance when it comes to crimes against humanity committed by Israel is laughable to me like dude, just say that you condemn the evil shit that Israelites are doing to the country of Jesus, they still think that they're going to lose customers when they choose whatever that's morally right. I guess that's to be expected when corporations like McDonalds are built as a soulless entity that only wants to churn out profit for their megalomaniac overlords. Technically this isn't a first time because defamation of companies that lead to less sales in their products can actually be considered a way where companies are suing someone for unsold products or potential profit losses.

Thank you guys for sharing this. This is very suitable New Year's entertainment at this time. Even though I didn't laugh out loud, I also felt amused and almost laughed at the news. But on the other hand, I also realize that the power of this product boycott is really quite powerful. The effect is quite big. In fact, I once heard news that basically said "Country A, even though they won the war, is pessimistic and still feels defeated because their economy is starting to collapse because of the boycott". I heard this news where the person who said this was at an important meeting of a country.

At first they may have underestimated the boycott. But the impact began to be felt after several weeks and months after the action began to be carried out by each individual's consciousness. It turns out that war doesn't just have to be violent. But things like this seem quite effective too. Even another form of war is on social media. Well, you definitely know how the numbers and social media accounts of important people from that country are starting to be filled with posts from netizens criticizing them.

Handing out clichés "by the book", and denying facts, manipulating information, "deleting inconvenient posts" - can you tell me who this is about ? All this is just a good indicator that incriminates the propagandist ! Congratulations - you have exposed yourself ! It happens )))

Regarding the media - about the resource you found somewhere - I did not find any significant mention of it, as well as its reporters and affiliation ... Although it must be said that even the Reitors have corrupt reporters, but it's easy to find out by double-checking the facts. This is for your future - so that you know how the propagandists' information throws are disclosed

[sunsilk]

Funny but this loss is a serious hit on them. Now, this is a lesson for most of the companies and businesses that there is power with the people when we are all united.

Before, it was like that they are asking and pleasing people to work for them. This time, it is all about boycotting and they cannot do anything with the voice of the people.

I guess that soon they are going to make efforts for getting their customers trust back through various promos and discounts.

Yeah this really is funny and this makes me think how about our right to choose as a costumer? Lucky for me I am living in a remote area where Mcdo is out of service I am having a higher chance not getting shot in the head. 😅

I think they can only sue those who are involved in that activity if it is unlawful to boycott someones business. If it was covered by the Sherman Anti-Trust Act that I found on google then it is illegal.

[3kpk3]

Had no idea about this. To be fair, McDonald's Malaysia is suing the BDS Malaysia movement due to financial losses and job cuts which is why it makes sense as to why they are doing this.

I do feel this is unnecessary though considering how rich and powerful they truly are overall.

They aren't suing people who refuse to buy their product, they are suing the organization that does anti-advertisement of McDonalds. Since BDS Malaysia is doing that, a counterattack is expected from McDonalds because it's a business and they lose money.
To be fair, people shouldn't be eating McDonalds, it's very bad for their health because their junk food significantly increases the risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke and obesity. If we were living in a good world, McDonalds and other types of fast food would be banned because they do more harm than good.
