Message: [QUOTE="Jason Simmons, post: 3164167, member: 8275"] The problem with the idea of pursuing ‘facebook’ trolls in defamation cases is proving they aren’t a ‘subordinate distributor’ which anyone who received these rumours and passed them on are. They aren’t liable (under Qld Law) for the defamation, the original publisher is... Beyond that, they will need a court order to gain the registration details of those user accounts from FB, unless the police are doing it and as far as I am aware neither Seibs nor his mouthpiece have stepped into court yet... Then they’ll need to contact the ISP’s, then serve discovery notices and then bring in someone like Korda Mentha to do the physical examination of the devices and so on. This will take years and cost a fortune before Seibold can even determine if he has a case against anyone... Which is why I suspect it will go away... [/QUOTE]
