The New York Times reports that when a college student annoyed with a Michigan towing company created a Facebook group to criticize them, the company retaliated with a $750,000 defamation lawsuit, claiming that it has lost business. The Times reported that the group had 800 members in two days. As of Tuesday evening, the group had 12,871 members. The disproportionate response from T&J Towing has backfired, giving the company national media attention and inflaming opposition to their practices. T&J Towing has shot itself in the foot.
