This Woman Lost Her Job Just For Asking Her Seat Back. The Dangers of the Internet

A Brazilian woman boarded her flight and found a crying baby sitting in her window seat, which she had paid for. She didn't yell or scream at anyone, nor did she insult anyone.

She just asked for her seat back. At which another passenger took out her phone and started filming her. The clip went viral, and the internet decided she was the villain.

The backlash didn't stop online - she says it cost her her job, invaded her privacy and turned a trivial matter into a public ordeal - now she's suing both the airline and the passenger who filmed it, arguing that she was entitled to the seat after paying, while being filmed without consent while being clever and clever was a crime - what started as a seating issue in this case has become something much bigger: and in this age of testing one's limits, a punishment, while a viral clip can erase the legitimate context and discredit someone, and disrupt someone's life.
