Feed a fever, starve a troll.

Delete their useless comments and keep it movin’.

So does that mean gossip blogs will be shut down?

Defamation: Any intentional false communication, either written or spoken, that harms a person’s reputation. Don’t you have to know the person before you can harm their reputation and again, intentional false communication like calling someone racist or a rapist but calling someone stupid or ugly is okay? Are anonymous screen names subject to the same protection? Will that finally mean celebrities and public figures will be protected?

I’m curious to see who this will work.

That’s like making a public library responsible for the contents of the books it carries and how they are perceived by each individual person.
That’s a slippery slope…

and it’s wack as fcuk

Big Brother, party of one…
