Description

Legislative bodies and courts have long struggled to reconcile two sometimes conflicting interests: the state's interest in protecting the reputations of its citizens and society's interest in free and robust debate. For example, the constitutional privilege in libel is an attempt to strike a balance between these interests. The evolution of the privilege reflects changing views regarding what constitutes a proper balance. The advent of the Internet created a different but related problem. The First Amendment interest in the balance was no longer related to a specific type of content, but rather a specific medium of expression. Instead of a concern that defamation law could have a chilling effect on "uninhibited, robust, and wide-open" (1) debate on public issues, the concern was that defamation law, as well as indecency law, privacy law, etc., would chill the development of the Internet.
