ISRAEL TRUTH TIMES

A blog dedicated to investigating events as they occur in Judea and Samaria, in Israel and in the world, and as they relate to global powers and/or to the Israeli government, public figures, etc. It is dedicated to uncovering the truth behind the headlines; and in so doing, it strives to do its part in saving Judea and Samaria, and by extension, Israel and the Jewish People, from utter destruction at the hands of its many external and internal enemies.

Doing whatever they can to shut people up. This alternative media outlet is really getting to them: they have no control!



Gov't Okays 'Talkback Law'

(IsraelNN.com) The government committee for legislation approved a bill presented by MK Yisrael Hasson (Yisrael Beiteinu) which would make large internet websites legally responsible for the content of reader talkbacks. A website with more than 50,000 daily visitors could be held liable for the content of reader talkbacks in libel suits as well as in criminal cases.

The only way a website could remove its civil and criminal responsibility would be to reveal the identity of the person who sent the talkback.

Hasson explained that internet websites are no less popular than other media and should therefore be made to identify the people who use them to publish their views. This, he explained, would make it necessary for people to behave in a more cultured manner and make them responsible for their utterances.
