Major Flat-Earth org has harassed and abused critics and is now in serious legal trouble.

It's about these guys:
https://fecore.org/

- When they incorporated, they wrote that they would have 0 members. But there are 7 people on the board of directors.

- According to law, a corporation must have a "principal office", which must be a real physical location where a representative of the corporation must be present during normal business-hours. The "principal office" of FE Core is a mail-box at a church in some town in Indiana.

- They claim to be a non-profit organization... but have never registered as a non-profit... Which means, that FE Core has been evading taxes for two years now.

- They claim to be developing new and improving old land-surveying techniques for the benefit of society, thus portraying themselves as professionals... except that you're not allowed to work as a professional land-surveyor unless you are registered with the state. (Let's ignore the quality of their work, which is ridiculous.)

- Their aim is to spread Flat-Eartherism to the public... which is illegal because non-profits are specifically forbidden from spreading propaganda. (And Flat-Eartherism is at its core a conspiracy-theory how the government is covering up the fact that Earth is flat.)





These things were pointed out by a Youtube-user called Sly Sparkane. Sly Sparkane used PUBLICLY available information and PUBLIC statements by members of FE Core, made in their function as representatives of FE Core, as evidence. Sly Sparkane really went to town on them.




How did FE Core react? FE Core filed privacy- and copyright-complaints within Youtube against half a dozen Youtube-channels, including Sly Sparkane. For slander.

TO REPEAT: FE Core accused their critics of slandering them and filed privacy- and copyright-complaints to stop their critics. They actually mocked their harassed victims in writing that the reason for their complaints is slander.

- Slander is not a valid reason to file privacy- and copyright-complaints.

- FE Core said that information publicly available on their website is actually private.

- FE Core said that showing their logo violates copyright... which is wrong. Logos may be shown under Fair Use laws. Also, FE Core never trademarked their logo. A copyright-violation is therefore legally impossible.





FE Core has abused Youtube's complaint-system, which is a big No-No. Youtube has so far not reacted to counter-complaints about FE Core's abuse, but it's well-known that Youtube reacts very slowly in such situations. Once Youtube bothers to react, FE Core will most likely use their Youtube-channel.

Meanwhile, Sly Sparkane has submitted his evidence for FE Core's fraudulent corporate activities and for their tax-evasion to the Secretary of State of Indiana and to the IRS...
