This tweet was clever, but I couldn't help but cringe when I saw it going around Twitter, giving everyone a healthy dose of misinformation. BP said fairly early on in the account's popularity (~20k followers is when I read about it) that they wouldn't take action against it. They even said it was a way for people to vent their anger. So it's not just a case of them not taking action; they've acknowledged it openly. Any PR team worth anything would do the same in this situation. Bad PR teams might take it to Twitter (the account is clearly in violation of Twitter's terms). Only the stupidest, head-up-their-asses teams would let it go to court. You could win this case easily in the court of law... but you'd lose hard in the court of public opinion.
