On Tuesday in Taiwan a blogger by the name of Liu was sentenced to 30 days in detention, 2 years probation and ordered to pay $200,000 Taiwan dollars for writing a bad review about a restaurant on her blog. The restaurant owner accused her of defamation and now she's facing the charges.
In her blog post, she wrote that the restaurant's food was too salty, the place had cockroaches and the owner was a 'bully.'
The whole thing is completely bizarre. If the restaurant actually had cockroaches people need to know about it! And the claim that the restaurant used too much salt isn't exactly a huge diss. Thankfully we're not blogging in Taiwan, or we'd have the Taiwanese version of the Kardashian's accusing us of some sort of defamation...(but, c'mon, it's not my fault that they look like wax statues!)
