Obscene tweet gets Vodafone rep suspended
Posted by: | CommentsWorking in customer service is never easy. People can be difficult, nay, impossible at times. But if there is one small rule, especially in this day of rampant networks with nothing better to do than be social, it’s the one that says “don’t insult the customer.”
This rule seems not to have been followed by one customer service representative who works, at least for now, for U.K. wireless carrier Vodafone… MORE

Jack Straw to review Britain’s libel laws
Posted by: | CommentsThe lord chancellor, Jack Straw, is to order a comprehensive review of Britain’s much-criticised libel laws, the Ministry of Justice revealed today.
Straw has previously promised to act against libel tourism, fearing Britain’s restrictive libel laws are being exploited by plaintiffs with few real links to the UK.
But the justice ministry said the review, to be conducted by academics, lawyers and newspaper editors, will go much further. The formal terms of reference will be to “consider whether the law of libel, including the law relating to libel tourism, in England and Wales needs reform, and if so to make recommendations as to solutions”.

Posted by: | CommentsMINNEAPOLIS (CN) – A former “plus-size model” who appeared on “The Biggest Loser” says weight-loss companies defamed her by using her photos to push their products, which she never used and which may be dangerous.

Government admits to Social Network Monitoring
Posted by: | CommentsThe US Government admits to social network monitoring and probably a little bit of profiling and will soon have to answer to a recently filed complaint asking for disclosure of those methods.
Read the New York Times Post today on Twitter Tapping:
The government is increasingly monitoring Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites for tax delinquents, copyright infringers and political protesters. A public interest group has filed a lawsuit to learn more about this monitoring, in the hope of starting a national discussion and modifying privacy laws as necessary for the online era.
Law enforcement is not saying a lot about its social surveillance, but examples keep coming to light. The Wall Street Journal reported this summer that state revenue agents have been searching for tax scofflaws by mining information on MySpace and Facebook. In October, the F.B.I. searched the New York home of a man suspected of helping coordinate protests at the Group of 20 meeting in Pittsburgh by sending out messages over Twitter.
