Hi friends , in this post I'd like to have a look at impact of extension of suing against the journalists in light of cyber law and relevant acts just for the excuse of the defamation. it is obvious that defamation must be treated as a crime and bad action which must be controlled and stopped , but on the other hand a little exceed in this regard can lead to awful limitation for journalist s to do their jobs. Threats driven by suing from people side who claim for defamation and lack of certain boundary of act to distinguish between real and true defamation and false is important issue may could cause some problems for professional journalists who must be able and allowed to critic , however in right manner,to communicate many issues in society. This matter can force journalists to keep their head down and avoid to do their job that way they should. Therefore it will be appeared with some contradiction between democracy , freedom of speech and on the other hand maintaining the right of people who are plaintiff . yes it is going to be a little bit complicated issue that should be managed with enough delicacy. In this space we cannot ignore the role of jury who assigned among the people in society and tend to be favour of plaintiffs and may be against the journalists.
It’s my honour to have your idea as well to make this discussion a little acceptable and knowledge based.
