When Employees Blast Your Company Online; Forbes, 10/25/10
Alexander F. Brigham and Stefan Linssen, Forbes; When Employees Blast Your Company Online:
"If a company's executives feel an employee has unfairly criticized the organization online, should they take legal action? Is that always even ethical?
The executives might argue that the suits are simply meant to intimidate. There's even a word for that: "Slapp," for "strategic lawsuit against public participation." Many states, including California, have enacted anti-Slapp laws, outlawing such suits as detrimental to freedom of speech and criticism."
