OA1274 - Can you sue if someone posts something nasty about you online? I mean maybe, but not like this. In today's episode, Lydia introduces us to the wild world of "Are We Dating the Same Guy?" and Jenessa walks us through a lawsuit that trips over its own feet while trying to take them down. It's a great opportunity to learn about some interesting Illinois laws against doxxing and your right to your likeness, and why the plaintiff failed miserably at mobilizing those laws in his favor. …Also, it wouldn't be a modern drama-filled lawsuit without attorneys using AI and failing to fact check. Tune in to hear a judge rage against the lying machine, and the lawyers that used it.
