g051051? The guy who keeps trying to post porn all over this site? I can't believe you've got the guts to go posting here. I've told everyone about your disgusting behavior.

What's that? You never did that? Well, for just $5/month you can sign up for my monitoring service and we can investigate your claims. In the mean time, I'm going to keep warning everyone about your behavior.

I feel like most people would consider the above behavior unacceptable, but it's okay because I'm a big company dedicated to stopping perverts like you.

(hopefully it is clear that I'm not actually serious. Unlike the credit agencies)

You told a reporter that story. The reporter, _without verifying it_, then tells his newspaper that the story you told is true and he's verified it (which is a lie). Now the newspaper publishes it. Who's responsible?
All three, because the newspaper knows that the reporter lies all the times, but continues to employ him because his stories sell.
