Did you know you might be legally liable if you slam your landlord on Twitter? Even if you think he or she is a slumlord?

CTV Southwestern Ontario, Canada, this evening televised a piece on “Cyber Libel” that looked at online defamation and the liability social media users might unwittingly incur. I was interviewed for the segment, and appear briefly near the end, with some nice shots of this blog and a piece I wrote, titled Social Media Isn’t Conversation, It’s Publication, on the subject. The idea for that post came out of a conversation I had with Nadia Matos, the CTV reporter, a couple of weeks ago. Check it out, interesting stuff.
