March 16, 2021 - 6:30 AM A B.C. woman has won a defamation case and a sizable award in B.C. Supreme Court after numerous unfounded allegations against her were posted to Facebook and other printed sources. While social media is rife with keyboard warriors and harsh accusations are spewed out daily on often the most innocuous of subject matters, this case serves as a reminder that what a person posts on a local community Facebook page can land them in serious trouble and be very costly. In this case, the harsh, unfounded, and derogatory comments cost the perpetrator $30,000. What is also striking about is the case is that the allegations weren’t seen by very many people, but the Justice still awarded a considerable amount of compensation citing the harm caused and how gossip spread quickly in the small community.
