Tweet About Mold Causes Lawsuit

What happens what someone Tweets about things that others say aren't true?  Well, in this case, it results in a lawsuit.  A Chicago woman recently made a comment about mold in her apartment saying "Who said sleeping in a moldy apartment was bad for you? Horizon realty thinks it's okay."

Feeling the comments were incorrect and harmful, the management firm for the apartments has responded with a lawsuit.  The Chicago Suntimes reports the response was because "...her alleged Twitter posts "maliciously and wrongfully" slammed her apartment at 4242 N. Sheridan and the company managing it."

It will be interesting to see how this turns out.  Free speech does has its limits.
