Peeved Facebook Might Sue Brit Tabloid Over '14-Year-Old Girl' Headline Chaser

Peeved Facebook Might Sue Brit Tabloid Over '14-Year-Old Girl' Headline ChaserToo often journalists and others are looking to hype sitations. It sells papers and can get someone to "stay tuned." But when there are real risks to teens online, this headline was inexcusable. They used Facebook's name to get attention when it had nothing to do with the "investigation" this journalist conducted.
The problem? For this journalist, it's doing it form the UK where defamation laws are much stiffer than in the US. I hope Facebook does sue.
