I don't like what he did its disgusting, but before too long we are going to have such restrictions on the internet we won't be able to say anything, which is WRONG.

The legal position of an individual who posts content online, be it on Facebook, Twitter, or on comment sections of online news pages, is clear: He or she is responsible for that content. Ignorance of the law is not a defence.

When individuals post material online, they act as publishers and their publications are subject to the same laws as those of professional publishers, such as newspapers.

The message we are hearing loud and clear from the courts is that the public cannot treat Twitter and Facebook as they would a casual chat in the pub.

People could be exposed to claims for damages approaching six figures depending on the extent of publication and any other mitigating factors - such as a swift public apology.
