Chubb offers troll insurance -

[Trash Tier Waifu]

Chubb -- an actual multinational insurance company not afraid of our fat-shaming ways here on teh Farms -- is offering the first ever troll insurance for individual policy holders who get to claim up to 50k Brit pounds (75,800 US$) toward expenses accrued from things like counseling, lost income if they are off work for a week or more, and help from online experts for victims of cyber-bullying and their families.

"They may also be able to hire a reputation management team to clean up any online smears, or pay for a digital forensic specialist to trace the abuse," according to the Telegraph. It's not a separate type of policy -- got to go for the full Chubb enchilada to get the troll insurance.

Does this include overtime pay for the ten hours spent patiently attempting to explain the Streisand Effect to the client?

 

[Doc Cassidy]

Whelp, we're fucked. It was fun while it lasted folks, everyone go home .

 

[ShavedSheep]

Looks like they mostly cater to wealthy clients with this?
So spoiled tumblrina snowflakes is obviously the target market.

Shit, no, Doc! We hire out to policyholders wishing to cash in. Much easier than helping homeowners' policyholders cash in by burning down their garden sheds while they're on vacation. No sprinklers to trip over, no second-degree burns from flammable fleecewear, and no fucking neighbors with new cameras taking pix of our license plates. (Not that I would know about any of that.)

Also, too, I say we get ourselves qualified to sell these policies because we know this market.

I wonder if they're in the market to hire consultants...

Be still, my heart.

I wonder whether this company is actually trying to defend tumblrinas or whether it is just orientated towards high profile individuals who may have social media campaigns against them

For me, the important thing here is that they're not serving the needs of the common folk, leaving the biggest share of the market wide open for the more economically priced plans we could offer. Instead of paying out cash, we would counter troll. Like, we yell at Null anyway, so why not get paid to do it? Cap the insults, email the caps to Chris our client, and send a policy renewal notice.

We should maybe do this from the Caymans. Or maybe Croatia.

inb4 people begin actually hiring people to troll them to commit insurance fraud on these policies.

professional trolling is a million dollar idea........

What, exactly, do reputation managers do anyway to fight against "online smears"? This isn't the first company to come along offering a service like this.

 

[Oglooger]

Are they hiring?

My bet would be it's so corporations that release shoddy or unsafe products can take down anything warning other people not to buy from them.

Nothing useful. That's why it's a good job for a scammer.

 

[Cthulu]

Well kiwis we found a racket to cash in on. Attention all lol cows. We will take 70% for fees. Online trolls for hire.

 

[Doc Cassidy]

I should start an anti-trolling company that teaches people how to not get made fun of.



Step 1: Don't be an retard on the internet.

Step 2: : Step 1 is the only step.

 

[Jewelsmakerguy]

I heard about this. And I don't know why, but I get to thinking that this may as well be just nothing more than an elaborate scam.

If not, then god help us all.
