So she's retained counsel and preparing to file a suit? Against whom? $TWTR?

The only viable strategy in the current media saturated clime is to embrace the attention. Every human on earth now possesses a mobile news studio in their pocket. There is no such thing as bad publicity for your own personal brand. If caught with your pants down. Put it in your bio. And re-invent yourself as the #planebae matchmaker offering services at a discounted rate for followers!

There is another viral media piece today about the discovery in Mythic Ireland by dronespotters. Circulating around the hashtag #NewHenge. It's the discovery of a lifetime. Has spread around the world in a matter of days. And will probably result in eternal archaeological renown for the finders on a Heinrich Schliemann level of glory. Or at least, they'll never have to buy a pint in County Meath for the rest of their lives.

There is no hiding from the World anymore. Just embrace your own true authentic self.

> Against whom?

Against the woman who posted the Tweets, I would imagine? Perhaps also against the companies which encouraged it, like T-Mobile?

It would make sense to me: if someone causes distress on someone else through their actions, I imagine you can make a legal case for going after him/her, especially if the first person does it for a gain (of notoriety, publicity, fame, etc) rather than by accident.

I wonder if a lawsuit alleging sander and line would apply here. I actually hope that the couple and the news organizations who started the whole thing get sued.

Are they saying they were misquoted? I'm seeing them unhappy about the publicity, but that's not slander.

[zaphar]

No, But the lady they exploited is saying that they misrepresented her for their own benefit. I think I would be tempted to sue them for slander if I were her.
