SRC Member seamonkee Posted November 12, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted November 12, 2003 Hey all, better watch what u say in forum..... saw this in today's Computer Times (Wed, Nov 12, 2003)... Online forums and the e-mail system are venues where users simply let off steam over what's eating them. But don't think you can simply say anything without facts to back you up, especially when you are criticising a person or an organisation. Cases of online defamation are on the rise, observed three law firms with expertise in defamation and IT issues. Allen & Gledhill, Drew & Napier and Harry Elias Partnership combined are handling more than 20 cases this year. In comparison, they saw fewer than five cases three years ago. With a court order, Internet service Providers and forum owners or moderators are obliged to reveal the identities of those who posted defaming remarks or materials online. And as more of such online defamation cases surface, the culture of being able to say anything online, hidden behind a pseudonym, may put a clamp on cybercitizens' free speech. But companies like Sony Ericsson use value in feedback - though some of it is scathing - from their online users' group and choose to work with the forum to turn the negatives into positives.

Achilles Tang Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Just be mindful of what you say online. If the court comes after you and you can't prove beyond a doubt that you are right... then its your lookout... Of course, personal opinions and personal points of view... are another thing altogether... so are places that are vaguely described. We have certain guidelines here in SRC, newcomers please be aware of them. AT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member nleong Posted November 13, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted November 13, 2003 well, such things are quite real. I have seen other forums whereby a forumer is demanding a public apology from an apparent defamation act, else he/she's going to sue for a $20000 damage. looks serious. think the debate still going on....
