....seems to be the big challenge for Leveson today - and what a challenge!
Senior MPs have said that Lord Justice Leveson must find a way to stop people from wrongly identifying people using social media channels, after Lord McAlpine was falsely accused of being a paedophile.
And what a silly "senior MP" - one Conor Burns:
"We are going to have to bring Facebook and Twitter under the same laws as libels committed by newspapers or television channels.”
Er, Mr Burns. Facebook and Twitter - as well as this blog and your secretary - are already subject to the same libel laws.
We elect these people but who selects them?
