  I remember once complaining about my rates being raised by Geico on Twitter. It felt very arbitrary and I was quite annoyed by it. Within hours, a Geico rep had messaged me to give me a succinct explanation and apologize for the inconvenience. They didn't solve the underlying issue that I wanted to give them less money, but it definitely made me feel better about their company.

  "it sounds like the guy might not have known that if you don't set conversations to private, then they're open to the public."
  
  The default setting is public?
  Seems to be a recipe for disaster.

  If it wasn't for bitching on Twitter, I don't think Time Warner would have ever shown up for my installation.

  Can you hear me defaming you now?

  Hey Vodaphone,
  
  (1) Nice public image you're creating. Better to go global with a misguided legal notice than to let one dissatisfied customer flame out.
  
  (2) In California, we have a statute--Cal. Civ. Code S 425.16--called the Anti-SLAPP Statute that specifically deals with attempts to silence protected first-amendment behavior like your customer's. If there is a statute like this one in whatever jurisdiction you're threatening legal action, be warned--they have teeth.
  
  (3) Shuddup.

  @ dwg - I doubt Vodafone-India worries about that because India has no such laws, although some statutes could be extrapolated to be used in that fashion they are not built for anti-SLAPP uses.
  as per information I found at http://www.inhouselawyer.co.uk/index.php/india/9307-slapp-suits-in-the-indian-context
  
  @ abc gum - Ya no kidding. Anytime a system designed to facilitate the spread of potentially private information fails to give the users protection of privacy by default, there is a problem. Per post public access should be available as an opt-in with the ability to opt-out later with warnings to the effect that once made public opting out may not prevent its access. Full public opt-in access should be used carefully and definitely not be on by default; also warnings should be in place to notify the user that it is on to prevent it being changed accidentally.
  
  @ Prinsoner201 - lol.
  
  @ PrometheeFeu - It is cool that they contacted you and apologized and explained themselves, despite failing to give you a deal. Understandable I guess, in a sense. Even more cool that they worked with you rather than suing you and being douche-bags.
