La Russa Sues Twitter Over Fake Page
According to multiple news reports, St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa has sued Twitter over a fake account. La Russa claimed the page caused a damage to his reputation and emotional distress. I think this could be an interesting development, and we could see a lot of these lawsuits by athletes and celebrities. Many of their pages are fake. Usually some guy trying to be funny (but never actually is). As Twitter continues to explode in popularity, we may see more of these fake pages and more lawsuits. Is there any action that can be taken to verify these? Further, is there criminal action to be taken for the guys behind the accounts? With Twitter becoming more and more a part of our daily lives, this is an interesting development to watch.
