Confused Online Safety, are you safe?

So, I AM NOT a huge huge Rachel Ray fan but a so so fan. But today she had a special report on online harassment.
She highlighted on lady i think her name was Sue Scheff...I thought she kept saying Sous chef duhhh...
anyway. Sue was getting harassed online. Horrible things were written about her. She runs a website about how parents can help parents reconnect with their teens. one lady didnt like something she advised. The lady was a victim of a cyber attack!!! she sued the lady and was wanted to just recoup her legal fees ~150K. the judge awarded her 11 mil~!! They wanted to set the example of how attacks on the internet could ruin someones life!! That is incredible! I am happy for her!
This lady had her life ruined!!!!
We have been online for 10yrs. Everyone is google-able! Be careful what you say about yourself! It could affect you getting a job!
If you see information posted about you you dont like
read the terms of service of the website. Use their verbiage. Write them and tell them this is abusive and defamation of character and you want it removed.
Sorry this was long...but good info
