Bloggers Beware -- Internet Postings Aren't Always Anonymous
An ABA Journal Article, "Former Law Dean Obtains Internet Addresses of Anonymous Online Critics", is a reminder that what one anonymously writes on the internet may not be anonymous.
Could your blog, comments, or other online postings land you in the middle of a defamation suit? Or raise the possibility of an interference with business relations claim? Are you anonymously mentioning competitors or promoting your services in a manner that could be seen as unfair competition or as violations of consumer protection laws?
Things to consider before making "anonymous" postings or contributions. In the alternative, this is also a means to seek protection when you, your business, or your children are the targets of anonymous online attacks.
