Submission + - Man order to tweet 100 times for defamation (malaysiakini.com)
durianwool writes: To avoid a defamation suit, a man in Malaysia has settled with lawyers that he will tweet 100 times over the next 3 days that he's sorry for defaming a magazine company. Originally realising the mistake in an original tweet, the man issued an apology tweet. That was not acceptable to the company, and the company (also his employer) pursued the matter with lawyers which demanded he place ads in newspapers. Not being able to afford newspaper advertisements, which can cost up to tens of thousands of ringgit, Fahmi Fadzil agreed to settle the matter with a series of apologies on Twitter instead.
