Cost of one Facebook Post: Florida Dad lost $80k
Dana Snay, a teenager published a post on Facebook about her father’s tribunal victory, which was supposed to keep confidential.
She announced that her dad has won in the court and court settlement paid him $80,000.
Patrick Snay filed a suit against Gulliver Preparatory School in Miami for age discrimination and won $10,000 in back pay and an $80,000 settlement. The only condition was, he has to keep the settlement confidential.
Unfortunately, his daughter Dana published the victory to her 1,200 Facebook friends. The post noted as the high-priced ever in facebook history.
“Mama and Papa Snay won the case against Gulliver,” Dana snay commented in her post.
“Gulliver is now officially paying for my vacation to Europe this summer. SUCK IT.”
Because of broken confidentiality, Patrick Snay lost the amount. The school never compensated the settlement and Florida appeals court has agreed.
“Snay violated the agreement by doing exactly what he had promised not to do.”His daughter then did precisely what the confidentiality agreement was designed to prevent.” The Court marked.
