[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I am the PP who has posted that an invasion of privacy, if proven, constitutes defamation. I am a lawyer with experience in the area of defamation on the Internet.

Please go back to wiping ass, doing laundry, and cooking meals. You are clearly a SAHM, probably in VA, who watches too many episodes of Desperate Housewives and thus, believes that outrageous behavior has no consequences. You know not of what you speak. Now go on and get to the grocery store. Don't forget your coupons. [/quote]

Not even close.

Look, if you knew what you were talking about, you would not need to throw around insults, first of all. You'd have case law citations that are relevant to the examples discussed in this thread and the original this is based on, if, you know, you actually had legal "experience in the area of defamation on the Internet." Your posts show that you don't. If you did, you would know that there are many jurisdictions seeking to enact laws about Internet defamation, but so, far, nothing exists that is enforceable or is expected to survive a constitutional challenge [i]for the types of behavior people have been discussing here, like posting an offensive parker's plate number on the internet.[/i]

The only legal progress, as it were, is in addressing issues of classical defamation that are spread via the Internet. If someone does something that rises to the level of legal slander or defamation, and then distributes that something via the Internet, the ISP can be made to remove it and a poster can be held accountable. What you seem to fail to understand is that photos of plates that park badly, photos of nannies on their phones at the playground, photos of the car who cut you off, or a photo if you with a see through shirt on...do not meet the legal definition of defamation of slander. They don't. Ergo, it is not illegal to post them.

You may be a lawyer, but there is no way you practice in this area. [/quote]

You must watch a lot of Law and Order, but I am the lawyer, and you are not.

Defamation can be claimed when the facts are true.  Claims for invasion of privacy are tied to defamation in many states.  Be careful out there, you silly girl.  Someone just may post a picture of you with your skirt up and poopy all of your thong.  You don't know the law, and you probably can't manage to wipe your butt properly either.  Or where to find proper thong.  They are expensive.  I can afford them, as I am a successful lawyer who knows how to sue people and win.[/quote]
