Keith-Smith v Williams is a 2006 English libel case that confirmed that existing libel laws applied to internet discussion.[1]

It was seen as important because it was seen as the first UK internet libel case that represented two individuals rather than one party being an Internet Service Provider,[2] and was the first British case involving a successful prosecution of an individual poster within a chat room.[3][4] The Manchester Evening News claimed that this contradicted a common assumption among bloggers that it was the publisher and not the writer who was responsible for any libel claims that they may generate.[5]

Mark Stephens, the head of media law at Stephens Finer Innocent characterised the case as "a dark day for freedom of speech with broad implications",[6] which was denied by the plaintiff Michael Keith Smith.[7]

The case involved an unnemployed ex-teacher Tracy Williams falsely accusing a former UKIP candidate, Michael Keith Smith, of being a sexual offender and racist bigot.[8] The court ordered her to pay £10,000 plus costs.[9][10] Although the accusations were made in a Yahoo discussion group with about 100 members, damages were awarded as the remarks were available throughout the world.[11]

think twice next time you insult a politician on here, guys....
 
George "dubya" Bush likes to molest little boys in group situations with members of the catholic clergy to the soft glow of a burning cross at a KKK rally.

The rest of the presidential cabinet are homosexuals that sell drugs.

Ooo that sounds nice. Well, maybe not the part about molesting boys. But the event sounds awesome. PM me the details of the next meeting.
 
Next sunday at nine o'clock (est), on the front steps of the Supreme Court. The justices are bringing snacks.
 
Hell no. They're all going to bend over and allow us to use their orifaces as candle holders. Then they're going to make really stupid decisions about imminent domain.
 
I think the English should just get it over with and make the father of that muslim scum mud dude who was fucking Diana the new King.
 
I can barely begin to list all the things wrong with that ruling. For starters, have they never heard of duals? If someone has the handle 'Dalai Lama' on a message board, it doesn't necessarily mean they're the real Dalai Lama.... M'kay?
