A Chicago apartment leasing and management company has filed a lawsuit against its former resident for her Twitter comment which the company believes that the comment was libelous.
I think that this is an act against the First Amendment; for the woman was only expressing how the bad her apartment and the bad service quality from the company were. Moreover, she only has 20 followers on her Twitter account that her comment could hardly defame the company. Therefore, I think that the lawsuit will not be successful.
As the article points out, the woman's case against the management company got a lot more attention once they filed the lawsuit.
