This so funny. Whole company is DOA. They’re saying that the reporter has to preemptively sign the protection agreement in order for the subject to later file a complaint, and the whole tool doesn't work if the reporter doesn't sign it. No reporter is going to sign up for this!
From that article:
"Put another way, D’Souza is asking journalists to preemptively agree to the possibility of financial penalties set forth by an AI tribunal and/or the guy who helped bankrupt Gawker—all in exchange for an on-the-record interview with someone who is indicating they are paranoid and hoping to pick a fight.
No journalist will ever, ever, ever agree to this arrangement. In the real, non-hypothetical world, if I reach out to a source for an interview and they send me back an arbitration agreement from a Peter Thiel-funded website, my response will be, “What?” Then I will say, “That’s not how this stuff works. Do you want to do an interview or not?” Assuming they reiterate their desire to only speak with me if I agree to Objection Protection, I will instead write my story, report on our odd back-and-forth, reach out one more time prior to publication, and note that they declined comment."
