Court rules nasty comments are a news site's responsibility
Those nasty, abusive comments left on news articles aren't the responsibility of the news site...or are they? The European Court of Human Rights ruled Wednesday that DelfiSA, a popular Estonian news site, is responsible for a slew of threatening and offensive comments left in response to one of its stories, according guild wars 2 Power leveling to The Wall Street Journal. The article that so enraged readers was published in January 2006 and was about a ferry company changing its route, which delayed the opening of roads to offshore islands, according to the Journal. Within the roughly 185 comments posted, around 20 threatened the ferry company's majority shareholder. Unhappy that DelfiSA gw2 power leveling rmtbuddy allowed these commenters to have a public forum for their threats, the ferry company sued in a local court and won. DelfiSA appealed within the Estonian courts and lost, and so the news site brought the case to the ECHR. But to no avail; the European court also agreed with the ferry company and the Estonian courts.Related storiesMcAfee: And the most dangerous cyber celebrity is...

While the ECHR has made its ruling, it's likely that it won't impact news sites in other countries, according to the Journal. The decision was made based on the human rights of those negatively affected by the comments in the DelfiSA article, not for precedent in international law. It's unclear how much DelfiSA will now have to pay for losing the case, or if it will be required to take action to prevent threatening comments in the future. Many news sites in the US have comment moderators to make sure nothing threatening or illegal is posted. And some companies have also taken to comment management. Last month, YouTube, which is notorious for cruel comments, began to roll out enhanced moderation tools to let uploaders manage comments on their videos.
