Twitter "troll" agrees to pay six-figs damages

[Countdown]

I have to admit I'm surprised that somebody agreed to pay £100k+ without the case going to Court.

I'm guessing it was somebody fairly well-known who would have been damaged by the negative PR.

Not that anonymous then.

I'm surprised the anonimity request was agreed to even if is dependent upon the future conduct of the perpetrator. Not sure I would be that generous.

No doubt a painful lesson whoever they are.

Twitter is just an ocean of bullst and hate. Im surprised anyone takes any notice of it. Just block the troll and move on.

Nice work if you can get it though.

Expensive bit of total stupidity by the troll. How long before someone calls it and names them on Twitter in their own bit of trolling?
What happens to the settlement if someone totally unrelated puts it out there?

Have we heard how much Carole has to pay out for her Twitter lies yet?
