Trying to control customer opinions online is nearly always a losing game for a business, and there's now a long line of cases where it has backfired on companies. We uncovered a new example this month, when a reader contacted Ars Technica to show us the "Social Media Addendum" that his Florida apartment complex, called Windermere Cay, included in his lease.

a resident of Windermere Cay who asked that his name be withheld. In this article, he'll be referred to as Martin.

He moved in to the complex in early 2014, selecting it because it's an easy commute to his engineering job at an Orlando company

So in 2014, Martin asked to have the addendum removed from his lease. "They said, we'll talk to the property managers," Martin said.

"It's an incredibly new complex, and I'm the first person to live in my unit," he said.


Good job with the anonymity here.
