What if you publish a negative review of a restaurant? Now it's super easy for them to find you and possibly harass you.

That actually happened to a friend of mine, and he enjoyed it. Made the restaurant look even worse when he posted their infantile response.



Happened to me too. I got an email from their lawyer making vague threats and I thought about it, and replied that they could sue me if they so wished. They had no case (obviously) and I've the time and money so I was kind of curious to explore the legal system in that light.
