Re: Websites to be forced to identify trolls
From the link posted by Damien:
Quote:
If people think that there is defamatory content being posted about them online, instead of taking action against the website where the information appears, they can ask the website operator to give them the name of the person who posted the remarks.
This way, they can take legal action against trolls directly, requiring them to remove the defamatory posts.

Okay, so it's still not clear how it's going to work. Will site owners be obliged to comply? Will people have to proof a statement is defamatory? Or can I simply ask CF to give me the name/ip of someone I don't like? And how does this sit with DPA? I think we're going to need a lot more detail before we can judge this.
