  • Because if you make a defamatory statement knowingly or not knowingly, a person's reputation may get damaged. So there is a good chance that the person taking legal actions against you. In online discussions it is a document (not verbal) considered as libel and serves as proof that you are the person who published it.
Three parties are liable for such offenses.
  1. The Writer
  2. The Editor
  3. The publisher

However if you can prove that

  1. you are not the writer, the editor or the publisher or
  2. You took reasonable care for it's publication and
  3. you didn't know and had no reason to believe that what you said or posted would lead to a publication of a defamatory statement

you will be considered not guilty.

  • Sometimes you may give out too much information about yourself. This sometimes may be a threat to privacy even if you don't know that.
