• Bijou Brigitte sued in 2009 Elina Karjalainen who had critized her employer publicly at web chats and also founded a Facebook-page called Bijou Brigitte-boikottiin

• The law-case was dropped, because Bijou Brigitte couldn’t prove that the company had suffered in any concrete way from the Facebook-page (f.ex. economically)

• Also all the comments that Karjalainen had issued on the web were stated to be true.
