This is ineffective legal solution to social problem.
Internet lies. Be cautious when placing trust especially on Internet. Two very good advice people will eventually have to learn.

- Silhouette 10y agoInternet lies. Be cautious when placing trust especially on Internet. Two very good advice people will eventually have to learn. That will bring little comfort to the person who was wrongly accused of rape in my example, when they are turned down for ten jobs in a row after HR search for their name online and find only the reports of the malicious accusation. Lies about a person can be extremely damaging. Even sharing the truth about certain things that we normally consider private can be extremely damaging. Unfortunately as a society we are nowhere near the state where everyone allows for all information we find from any other source potentially being incorrect or misleading and treats such things in an objective and considered manner. I'm not sure reaching that state is even possible, in general. For example, how long should a reasonable, responsible person spend looking for corrections or retractions that might or might not exist before believing an article they read online? That is why we have defamation laws and that is why we now have related protections like the "right to be forgotten".
