摘要
摘要公共Facebook页面是传统媒体吸引读者并将其商业化的重要方式。在Fairfax Media Publications Pty Ltd v Voller(2021)392 ALR 540一案中;[2021]HCA 27,澳大利亚高等法院最近裁定,即使媒体不知道存在诽谤性第三方评论,媒体也应作为出版商对发布在媒体公共Facebook页面上的诽谤性第二方评论承担责任。这一决定不仅对媒体,而且对澳大利亚任何主持或管理社交媒体页面的个人或实体都有重大影响。本文分析了高等法院的裁决,并考虑了其影响。
Liability for third party comments on social media pages
ABSTRACT Public Facebook pages are an important way in which traditional media outlets engage their readers and commercialise that engagement. In Fairfax Media Publications Pty Ltd v Voller (2021) 392 ALR 540; [2021] HCA 27, the High Court of Australia has recently held that media outlets are liable as publishers for defamatory third party comments posted on media outlets’ public Facebook pages even if the media outlets are not aware of the presence of those comments. The decision has significant implications not only for media outlets but for any individual or entity in Australia who host or administer a social media page. This article analyses the High Court’s decision and considers its impact.
期刊介绍:
The only platform for focused, rigorous analysis of global developments in media law, this peer-reviewed journal, launched in Summer 2009, is: essential for teaching and research, essential for practice, essential for policy-making. It turns the spotlight on all those aspects of law which impinge on and shape modern media practices - from regulation and ownership, to libel law and constitutional aspects of broadcasting such as free speech and privacy, obscenity laws, copyright, piracy, and other aspects of IT law. The result is the first journal to take a serious view of law through the lens. The first issues feature articles on a wide range of topics such as: Developments in Defamation · Balancing Freedom of Expression and Privacy in the European Court of Human Rights · The Future of Public Television · Cameras in the Courtroom - Media Access to Classified Documents · Advertising Revenue v Editorial Independence · Gordon Ramsay: Obscenity Regulation Pioneer?
