When paid blogging goes wrong.

What happens when you write a payed review on some product and people start to comment on it that it’s actually a bad product. Or even worse a scam… I stumbled on this real estate blog, the owner wrote an honest paid review on an online real estate service, then people started commenting about their bad experiences. Finally he gets a nice letter from a lawyer to take down the post and comments. I understand the webmaster that he doesn’t want to risk an expensive lawsuit against some big company with enough cash to sue anyone they don’t like. But what happened to freedom of speech?
Think twice when you are going to write some paid review, certainly do a background check and try to find all possible information online so you know what you are writing about.
