The lawsuit culture strikes Twitter

Marian Wang comments in Chicago Now.  Horizon Group Management sues one of its tenants for a negative comment she distributed to her followers on Twitter.

According to the complaint filed in Cook County court today, Bonnen “maliciously and wrongfully published the false and defamatory Tweet on Twitter, thereby allowing the Tweet to be distributed throughout the world.”

Bonnen has 20 followers on Twitter.

The idea of exchanging ideas online is threatened if this nonsense is allowed to stand.  Lawyers.  Sheesh.
