British model Jordan and Canadian model Liskula Cohen are taking on Facebook and Google respectively in two cases that highlight modern challenges with social media – although only one of the models seems to have a poking chance. Jordan’s Facebook group was controversially removed for violating the terms of service, since it wasn’t created for a company or product. The removal appears to be somewhat vague and arbitrary since Facebook doesn’t provide further details. Only time will tell if Jordan’s group will be reinstated. Cohen’s complaint against Google and its Blogger publishing service stems from a blog titled “Skanks in NYC” which called Cohen “our #1 skanky superstar.” She wants Google to reveal the identity of the blogger. However, as noted by DEXTER150 on a New York Daily News discussion board, “In the People vs. Larry Flint, it was determined that public figures are open to satire and that this type of speech is protected under law. She has no case.”
Jordan vs. Facebook and Cohen vs. Google. Who will prevail on the chatwalk?
