On the Listening Post this week, the civil war has ended in Sri Lanka but the media war continues and anonymity in the blogosphere: Is it a good thing?
In part two Listening Posts Salah Khadr delves into the world of online anonymity and looks at some cases that have got people asking: is online anonymity a good thing? Our report begins with a typical argument in the Internet age. A model in New York badmouthed someone, who then set up an anonymous blog, and got back at the model, by maligning her online. But the model fought back, with lawyers. She took Google to court to force Google to reveal the bloggers identity, and won. The blogger is now threatening to take Google back to court for revealing who she was. The argument itself was petty, but the ruling has implications that go far beyond this case and could end up affecting the rights of all bloggers to anonymity. Our report will try to answer some these difficult questions and present you with enough information to make your own mind up.
