It's the advice on anonymous blogging that concerns me, since our experience is that of being defamed in efforts to undermine human rights activism. One finds that there is no redress, on Google media for instance, when one's efforts are tagged with smears claiming criminal intentions. In fact the opposite is enforced, making it impossible to identify the defamer. With the notable exception of Taking IT Global no social networking website will act in cases of identity theft, no blogging media will take responsibility for unauthorised reproduction. Is there not a case for making a guide also, a code of conduct, for those that offer blogging space for profit?
