2024In the ruling, the court held that Joanna’s challenged social media posts were “publicly made” and that based on the non-disparagement provision’s broad language, “it is proper to interpret social media postings as postings made to third parties.” In light of this adverse ruling, Joanna could have readily raised that issue at trial, or even earlier. 20220559-CA 16 2024 UT App 164 Wallace v.
