Twitter Lawsuit

Last year, Courtney Love, had been brought to court for Twitter defamation by Dawn Simorangkir, a fashion designer. Simorangkir and Love got into an argument regarding a four-thousand dollar payment over clothing. Afterwards, Love wrote slanderous tweets about Simorangkir's business, in which Simorangkir claims, hurt her reputation and business. Love argued she was just expressing her opinion and there is no way to prove her tweet effected Simorangkir's business; however, Simorangkir countered by saying Love was a celebrity and holds influence over her twitter followers. Love ultimately settled this out of court and paid Simorangkir four-hundred and thirty-thousand dollars.
