Reviews

‘Digital services have not left defamation law untouched. I recommend this book to all those who are curious about how freedom of public debate is shaped, who can be held responsible for violations committed, and what tools are available to protect the individual in the online world.’ András Koltay, University of Public Service and Pázmány Péter Catholic University
