Gawker is reporting on an apartment management company that’s sued a former tenant over a tweet.
In the tweet, the tenant said her apartment was moldy and also mentioned the company, Horizon, by name. The damages claim? 50,000 bucks.
The tenant had 20 followers. That’s 2500 bucks a follower.
At the moment, Horizon Realty is a trending topic on Twitter. I have to wonder: Is it worth it?
Some companies jump at the opportunity to answer a customer’s complaints on Twitter. And then some companies get sue-happy.
