McSpotlightAugust 7,1998 When fast-good giant McDonald's sued five London activists they started a seven year fight, the longest trial in British history, and a global campaign against McDonald's. Although the defendants were found guilty under Britain's strict libel laws, the judge conceeded that McDonalds exploits children in its advertising, falsely claims that its food is nutritous, and pays low wages. Despite winning the case, McDonald's image was badly hurt by the negative publicity. McSpotlight was started by two of the defendants. Today, it is a very professional site that exposes the damage that McDonalds and other multinational corporations do to the environment, their workers, animals, their customers and to human rights.
