The lawsuit faults Netflix for losing a drive that contained a copy of World War II thriller 'Fortitude.' The company maintains it's not responsible for the loss of the movie, which it says was delivered "without proper industry-standard safeguards."
“Netflix sued” would mean they are being sued, “Netflix sues” means they are doing the suing.
Unless it’s something that happened in the past…
You often constructions like:
“Netflix Sued Over Stolen Film: Here’s How It Went For Them”
You won’t believe what happened next!
“Netflix [had] sued” is as reasonable as “Netflix [was] sued,” is it not?
Edit: love it when you make a reasonable point and wind up with zero replies but exactly one downvote. Such a funny little experience, these moments are.
Had/was kinda implied this is a thing that happened a while ago. They could probably do something like “Netflix suing for…” and “Netflix being sued for…”, but the confusion is probably intentional for clicks.
Here have another💋
Serious question:
Have you ever wondered why you enjoy being shitty to other people?
Damn. It was funnier with just one. Now it’s meaningless.
