(case study) Blogger Defamation? by shahroll

As salam, hello readers...

Masa aku berada di part 4, aku ada belajar pasal subjek LAW. Bukan major law, belajar pasal company dan law. Tapi ada sentuh sikit pasal benda defamation. Cumanya sekarang, aku related-kan dengan dunia blog dengan istilah defame ini.

Amende tu eh?

Untuk skop blogger, boleh baca guideline nya di SINI. Banyak input korang boleh perolehi dari situ. Ada yang boleh pakai dan ada yang hanya digunapakai dalam law US sahaja.

Do blogs have the same constitutional protections as mainstream media?

Yes. The US Supreme Court has said that "in the context of defamation law, the rights of the institutional media are no greater and no less than those enjoyed by other individuals and organizations engaged in the same activities."

Walaupun dunia Internet begitu luas dan penuh dengan segala sumber dan bermacam lagi, aku rasa sedikit "sekatan" melegakan sesetangah pihak. Betul tak? Tapi dah bertentangan pula dengan kebebasan suara dalam Internet, cam ne tu?

Apa pun, aku tertarik dengan 1 kes di luar negara yang melibatkan blogger di luar negara.

Baca: Truth doesn't protect Minnesota blogger from defamation suit; judge upholds Johnny Northside verdict. ($60,000 judgment to be appealed by blogger who court found reported truthfully)

enjoy!
