I write this short post, prompted by reading an article online that describes how are increasing in Italy, claims for defamation in respect of blog managers.
I already wrote a post on libel Networking and here I must reiterate what was said earlier: the back, without checking the sources and verify its reliability, inveritieri facts, injurious to the reputation and dignity of others is a crime.
Article. 595 Criminal Code punishes those who in fact, outside of the cases punishable by art. Cp 594, or the insults, "communicating with more people offends another's reputation" and that crime can be parted only by the existence of freedom of the press, or, as stated in a clear and precise even in Cass. Civ. Sec. III 19.01.2007 n.1205 the existence of the threefold truth (putative but also based on a serious work of research and control), and the interest of continence public.
Internet is a powerful communication and should be used with extreme caution: a news report incorrectly can mean a huge boost in the damage to the reputation of a person, therefore I can only advise bloggers to write about events and individuals always with the utmost caution, having respect for the people involved and keeping the Law and instructions of the Supreme Court.
