Be warned if you try to defame anyone online. Why? Well a Yelp user faces a lawsuit over doing the same about a doctor as he called him dishonest. This isn’t only going to bring trouble for its user; Christopher Norberg but to the entire Yelp community if he ends up losing as his attorney, Michal Blacksburg stated:

If Christopher loses then anyone on Yelp who writes a negative review better be careful. This strikes at the heart of Yelp’s business model and other Web sites that provide a bulletin board for people to state what they think of businesses in their community.
