This question relates to slander and defamation on the web so opinions and details of the laws from everyone in all countries would be welcomed.
I am working on a web site where people can upload details of events or individuals that have annoyed them or caused them harm. If specific details or photographs are posted on the web site - can the individuals being cited sue the owner of the website itself?
I'm assuming that sites ssuch as YouTube must have this sort of issue - and wonder how they are treated.
I am from UK so UK law particularly of interest.
Thanks
