Last month, the BBC erroneously linked a prominent politician to a sexual abuse scandal. The network didn't name the politician -- but thousands of people on Twitter did. This prompted the politician, Alistair McAlpine, to vow legal action against those who tweeted or retweeted about the allegations. McAlpine has identified about 20 high-profile Tweeters, including the wife of the speaker of the House of Commons and a columnist for The Guardian. That's not all: McAlpine also wants reparations, or at least a formal acknowledgement of wrongdoing, from as many as 10,000 others.
