Good news for freedom of blog-speech
The California Supreme Court has ruled that bloggers and US internet providers can’t be held liable for the posting of defamatory comments written by third parties.
I expect this decision will influence legal judgements in the UK, and EU, but to the best of my knowledge there are no European precedents in the blogosphere.
Our advice to customers is to ensure your user policies (both external and internal) are up-to-date, and that employees in particular are trained in blog-production.
