50 sats \ 4 replies \ @SimpleStacker 17 Oct \ on: Antimicrobial metal jacket made from 11km of copper wire costs $1,895 hyperlinks

Can they be sued for false advertising? I can't find any evidence at all that it won TIME Best Invention, nor can I find any article in WIRED praising it as "the virus killing coat of the future".

The closest WIRED article about it is quite dubious, and I couldn't find anything on TIME

They'd win that lawsuit

It won in 2020: https://time.com/collection/best-inventions-2020/5911363/full-metal-jacket/

The link at the bottom of this article points to the original Wired UK article: https://www.wired.co.uk/article/vollebaks-new-full-metal-jacket-is-the-virus-killing-coat-we-need-right-now

The link doesn't seem to work even if I use a VPN in the UK, but the url is enough to confirm the article title to me.
