" Freedom Of Information "
* Hands Off Rules *
So you believe that slandering and defaming of someone is perfectly fine an should not have repercussions or remedy for the person being slandered?
Like this calling one of our military a white supremacist because he has a Jesus tattoo on his arm and wanting him demoted for it?
If someone issues libelous statements or slanderous speach and they open themselves to lawsuit for defamation , the issue remains whether the media outlet should be held accountable as well .
In my opinion , the media outlet could be held accountable for libel if they were complicit in themselves knowingly issuing defamation statements ; however , online social media companies would be exempt from such a rule because they are not be able to evaluate the content prior to the statements being published by individuals , and only by a ruling of a judge from a civil trial , or active criminal prosecution , should the content be taken down from online social media .
If someone issues a threat for violence , it is a matter for law enforcement , and the statements should be taken down where prosecution is being pursued .
ISPs and social media outlets should abide by
Net neutrality - Wikipedia , and only take action against actual crimes or by direction from judicial ruling that libel or slander has occurred .
