Defamation, harassement on Twitter

By Mauricio Freitas, in , posted: 25-Feb-2010 14:38

Folks, there's someone on Twitter who doesn't know better and is currently on a harassment campaign against Telecom employees.

The tweets are of a personal nature (including comments on female employees and of a sexual nature), highly NSFW.

While I firmly support people criticising a company, I think it's wrong to make it personal and go on employees and their personal lives. I also think it's wrong to make it behind anonymous comments.

If you are a Twitter user, could you please visit http://twitter.com/deadcaseyjohnsn and click the REPORT SPAM link?

Note I am not giving a link here because that page doesn't need Google juice. Also note all tweets are highly NSFW - even the mild ones.

I would recommend ignoring them. Don't feed trolls. If the account gets banned, they will just come back with another one.

Wow, that person is way out of line. Can always tell the cowards that will not say something in real life or hide behind an alias

My guess they are a 15yr old Teenager who couldn't abuse the unlimited txt service for 4 hours of his day. I can't believe an adult would post such horried comments.

Woh... that is pretty awful. Consider it spammed at my end.
