I actually use Paper.li on Twitter to aggregate tweets about t-shirts, as I want to keep myself informed about the latest designs and trends and I only ever had problems once: someone resented having his tweet featured in my daily (shameless plug if you're interested to look at it --> T-Shirts Creators ; it updates daily) and got quite aggressive about it. Most people like being featured and mentioned but some peeps mistake it for spam, which it isn't, especially since you can opt out from being featured and mentioned...
Someone wrote an article about what Paper.li is, what it is used for and how to go about preventing it from mentioning you and publishing your tweets in its online newspapers. The article is accessible by clicking the link below.
What to do if you don't want to be mentioned by Paper.li or your tweets to be featured in a paper.li daily
So, if you have been mentioned by it and you don't want to be anymore, you will know the procedure to follow. And if you are the editor of a daily on paper.li, you know what to tell someone who comes to you complaining.

The truth about Santa
The news are too depressing generally to be commented on really. With one exception that provided instant comic relief on so many levels to many people.
A famous and renown greeting cards manufacturer in the UK has unwittingly unleashed a sh*t storm online by claiming that Santa has all the attributes to live in a council estate: a dowdy looking guy who works only once a year, lives on benefits, drinks like a fish and wears the same clothes everyday, among other characteristics listed on their latest Christmas card. Corporate greed at its worst making fun of the poor unemployed people, the same who yet buy their cards for Christmas. At least, the resulting stream of abuse and complaints aimed at the company was funny and entertaining to read online :)
Apparently, according to their website listing seasonal vacancies, the company pays its temporary Christmas workers from £4.96 up to £6.50 an hour which is below the living wage of £7.85 an hour. This probably means that a lot of their employees must live in council flats and are among the people the company makes fun of with its greeting cards.

Hi,
I am active on Twitter @dyadya_boris but didn't really have a blog until now. I will be posting about things that are of interest to me but I have no idea of the direction the topics will take. A great unknown.
I am definitely not here to meet your expectations or share your opinions however.
I would also like to remind you that the only real right you have here is to keep your mouth shut.
With this last advice in mind :), I hope you enjoy your stay.
