i'm in total awe when i read on someone else's blog that anyone blogging about someone (and something?) could be liable of libel, especially if he/she is
Quote,
- Publicly mentioning names of people being exposed in the blog.
- Posting pictures of the people being named by Brian Gorrell in his blog.
- Publishing the URL of the blog or linking to the blog.
- Quoting a libelous sentence on the blog or re-publishing/summarizing allegations thereof
Unquote.
do you agree or disagree? well, i guess it doesn't really matter if you're living in a civilised and democratic country ... it's a whole different matter if you're blogging from the Philippines.
click the link above - and make sure you read the blog and the comments section ... this whole thing has snowballed and as it develops, it has become one truly embarassing situation for the Philippines as a country, its government, its judicial system and its people. what an outrageous, alarming and shocking revelations!
geez, i wonder if i am guilty of libel now that i've published the much talked about link in my blog ... what do you think?
