A Florida appellate court has upheld an order requiring a divorcing couple to pay $350,000 for posting defamatory remarks about the wife's attorney on Yelp and the online legal site Avvo. The divorcing couple accused the attorney of charging higher fees than initially quoted. "In a lesson that all online reviewers should heed, the appeals panel said that the Internet is not a forum with carte blanche freedom to say whatever irks you," Ars Technica writes.
