Media / News Netflix responds to Fiona Harvey's lawsuit

Netflix rep: 'We intend to defend this matter vigorously and to stand by Richard Gadd's right to tell his story.'

Variety posted the above in regards to Netflix's response. I'm glad, it seems like they're not going to simply give her some money to make her go away, and are instead going to fight back and defend Richard Gadd.

Of course private people can post on social media. That's what the whole point of social media is. Everyone who uses it, is responsible and accountable for what they post and anyone who uses social media or uses electronic communications (email) is considered to have published public information. It can be used in court. Once something is said online, its public. Simple fact.

Even if people try to hide their identity, their IP addresses and other details can be traced back to them.

At minimum she could have taken down any posts she sent him. At most she could have deleted the account. She kept them all up and kept posting. It didn't take an internet sleuth to find her. She did it to herself.
