UK Government will amend Defamation Bill to make websites disclose the identity of people who post offensive messages online. Victims will be legally entitled to find out the names of those who attacked them publicly. If websites refuse to cooperate, they can end up in court and be fined thousands of pounds for defamatory comments. This way the government holds websites operators responsible for all content on their company site even if it was posted by their visitors. The law will also halt those people who falsely claim some articles are offensive just to have them removed from a website.”]
