Blogging and Defamation Issues
Posted on March 12th, 2008 by Administrator
There are several recorded cases pertaining to blogging and defamation. In one case the court stood that anonymous bloggers need to be unmasked by setting stringent standards. There was a case of defamatory posting filed in Malaysia which forced the Malaysian government to propose to “register†all bloggers in the country. In Britain, a college lecturer was sued and fined £10,000 in damage and £7,000 costs. In the U.S., a blogger was sued for defamation and publication of trade secrets. With these records, there is now a question about who is going to be liable for comments posted on blogs when the issue about blogging and defamation is at hand.
