Here's a very strange legal case that I thought I'd run past some of you:
A New York woman was held in a psych ward involuntarily for claiming that Barack Obama follows her on Twitter. She was told she could go if she simply retracted the claim, but she didn't.
As it turns out, she IS followed by the account @BarackObama... but that account is run by some of his campaign people and not actually by Obama himself, so it may not be strictly accurate to say the president does follow her.
Of course, she is suing for the $13K she is being charged for the psych hold.
