Possibly.

I quickly browsed the thread and there were people suggesting names, maybe the cafe didn't want a potential law suit against them.

I dont remember anyone saying it was definitely him, they were literally just saying the rumors were him. Theres a difference.

This

There's a court injunction in place naming a name.

 

[Wibble]

There is an injunction on place. Until we know our legal position we will delete any and all speculation to protect ourslves.

So you poor mods have to be monitoring the whole caf to make sure no poster mentions his name?

Don't understand, he cant sue the internet, can he?

 

[Arruda]

I would think in a situation like this the cafe would be as much to blame as twitter or facebook are for the people spreading rumours in then. It's a social debate site, with individuals and their ideas, it's not like a newspaper or magazine with a strict editorial responsibility.

That said, nothing wrong with playing it safe I suppose.

Doubt anything could be done legally in relation to speculating the name of the chap in fairness guys

You'd be wrong. It could.

In reality it wouldn't ever be pursued.

Better be safe than sorry. If it is found that his name or status is somewhat tarnished from a result of being mentioned by someone or some organisation (especially if he is not found guilty), they will act accordingly. I dont know that much about these kinda laws, so its just my guess.

And the trees newspapers are made of can't be sued either. Niall on the other hand can.

Its best to avoid an issue.

There is.

But if it was my website I wouldn't take the risk.

Lawyers are very expensive and footballers/clubs have a lot of money.

Interesting case a few years ago when the owner of Sheff Wed pursued a fella who ran a blog just like this onw where some "anonymous" posters had posted some (allegedly) defamatory allegations against him.

He succesfully obtained a Court Order requiring the website owner to provide the IP addresses of the posters involved. Probably cost the poor bloke a fortune in court costs.

Its the same type of Order they use against Broadband companies to get the names/addresses of people downloading pirated stuff of the net - usually porn.

Apologies if someone has already mentioned this.
