Today, local media reported Vimeo as saying :

"we take no position on whether any of the statements in the video are true or not. Rather, we have merely determined that the video could be subject of a defamation claim and, under Australian law, could subject Vimeo to liability.”

I was surprised by this quote on two counts : first, it's a bad business model to allow a third party to so easily expunge Vimeo users' data. Secondly, because the previous day, FMGs Cameron Morse told another media outlet that Fortescue has had no contact with Vimeo.
