什麽是網絡毀譽:一顧客在網上批評加拿大酒店客房有臭蟲被酒店索賠$95,000網絡毀譽

一名酒店客戶在加拿大一間酒店住宿,發現bed bugs,該客戶抓住臭蟲,拍照,然後去前台交涉,因當天酒店滿員,酒店前台願意給40,讓顧客到鄰近酒店入住,該客戶決定待在該酒店過夜,事後,該客戶在網站tripadvisor.com上留下負麵評價(包括照片),酒店要求此人撤回負評,但仍然告上法庭網絡毀譽(defamation),索賠九萬五千美元.

顧客能不能在網絡上自由地批評商家及個人的服務,有沒有極限,什麽是網絡毀譽,加拿大這個標誌性個案將對網絡名譽保護和個人言論自由有非常意義。

"In what is believed to be a legal first in Canada — and a potential landmark case that could help to define the limits of free speech in cyberspace — a hotel is suing a former guest for $95,000 in damages over a review he wrote on the travel site TripAdvisor.

It also wants the negative review, which is still online, taken down.

But the lawyer for the Montreal man who wrote the review says the "frivolous" defamation lawsuit will be quashed in court like the bedbugs her client claims he found in his room."*
