“Joseph Grabko of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania was briefly employed at a pizza restaurant called The Wild Tomato before quitting over issues of hygiene and finding drug paraphernalia on the premises. Grabko posted a critical review of the restaurant in the Yelp social network site. When it was deleted, he reposted it. The owner of the restaurant threatened Grabko with a ‘harassment’ charge if he didn’t take down the reviews within 24 hours. Shortly thereafter Grabko received a call from Officer Hallie Miller of the Lower Paxton Township Police Department, who told him that his online opinions ‘can be construed as harassment.'”
