Next time you want to blast someone on Twitter, think again, it can cost you - by Peter Mwaura
Many people believe they can, with impunity, defame, malign, and vilify anybody on Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and other social media and blogs on the World Wide Web (www).
Such thinking seems to be part of the “online anonymous culture”.
They believe they can make disparaging statements online without repercussions, using false names, aliases, codenames, or fake social media accounts.
Such belief is false. Anonymous Internet users can be hunted, tracked down and hauled before the courts. They can hide but they can’t run.[more]
