...mute your critics on your own, suing them for defamation might seem like the most effective way to stop the problem. But to win a case, you'd have to prove that intentionally false statements have damaged a lot more than just your feelings. You would also have to know whom exactly to sue, which can be virtually impossible since so many Web posts - especially on gossip sites like Juicy Campus, Faceliss and The Dirty - are anonymous or pseudonymous. What's more, the 1996 Communications Decency Act frees site operators from any liability for posts made by visitors to their...

...revile American politics and American comida de basura (junk food), but they still tend to measure their Prime Minister's international worth by the esteem with which the U.S. President holds him. And so, for the past four years, the Spanish Prime Minister has tried, ever so earnestly, to prove that he's one of the big boys. At every international summit he has tried to maneuver himself into position for a photograph with Bush. The press has breathlessly reported on every perfunctory exchange the two have had. And the much longed-for invitation to the White House - let alone...
