Holding the Cyberazzi accountable
A while back I blogged about cyberbullying in a post I called Beware the Cyberazzi. My post was largely motivated by my knowledge of a few sites that are dedicated to sabotaging the character and credibility of people in this community.
Today, Michael Geist has reported that a B.C court has ordered an Australian man to pay $179,000 in damages for posting hundreds of libelous comments on the Internet over a period of four years.
In an effort to support the community, Bob and I plan to interview an expert on cyberstalking and cyberbullying (hopefully a police officer) for an early episode of season three four of the Canadian Podcast Buffet.
