Online Defamation Cases On a Rise! Beware!
<div>
Are you one of those who love making fun of other "stupid" people in their network? You are, aren't you? Well, you may have to limit your abuses and sarcasm to yourself as now people may file a defamation case against you, just like that. Experts revealed that the number of such court cases have doubled in a year, causing a great cause of concern to the users. Internet-related defamation cases in England and Wales grew from 7 to 16 in the year ending 31 May.

The increase is related to a mount in the usage of social networking sites, like Facebook and Twitter. In the meantime, the Libel Reform Campaign group stated that smaller website operators required extra legal approval to defend themselves in opposition to actions brought in by the so called "corporate bullies". Barrister Korieh Duodu, a media specialist with law firm Addleshaw Goddard remarked on the figures stating that much of what appeared online was written by people who did not verify facts in the same way that media organisations do. But he also notified that the trend of journalists adopting social media sites as news sources magnified the risk of defamatory information coming out in national news stories. He said,"People who find themselves damaged on social media sites can often find it time-consuming and difficult to have the offending material removed, because many platform providers do not accept responsibility for their users' content. Such is the speed at which information travels through social networks that one unchecked comment can spread into the mainstream media within minutes, which can cause irreparable damage to the subject who has been wronged." Mr Duodu said that those who give user-supplied content on the internet should be answerable for what they write, via stricter regulation.
