David Lat of Abovethelaw.com writes a brief note about cyber-bullying, slander and libel on the Internet.
Simple rules everyone should abide by. It’s too easy to be offended by someone and lashing out without regard to consequences. I can safely say with confidence that we’ve all done it at one point or another and regretted it almost immediately.
Basically, don’t make a false statement about someone else that is malicious, false and damaging to that person’s reputation. Also, don’t think you can hide behind an anonymous comment.
