Bonnen’s Twitter stream was public, and a false statement that harms a business can be judged “defamation per se,” meaning that the plaintiff does not need to prove the details of damages. It’s another lesson that social media make many of our previously private conversations public, with potentially serious consequences. (Twitter, of course, is protected from the suit under Section 230.) [...] [...] Assuming the apartment was not, in fact, “moldy,” I think the law may well be on Horizon’s side here.
