So, the public domain/other person published it first argument isn’t a defence for you. You would have to prove justification yourself. Can you? As I said John this forum needs to remove the facility to post screen shots if you’re going to view any material cut and paste from anywhere else on the www as potentially defamatory. There are hundreds and hundreds of clips on here that might be potentially defamatory in hindsight if you want to take that approach.

TheTeapot Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 If you screenshot the tweet and post it you're responsible for it, if you post a link or embed a tweet you're not, thats the way I think of it. And I don't care if I'm wrong. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTeapot Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I also happen to think that screenshotting tweets to repost elsewhere rather than linking is a decision, and that the person doing it is almost always doing it provocatively. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't care if I'm wrong. That’s fine so what’s a journalist going to do to fact check it. 1. Do you know Jason Scales is a real person. Tick 2. Is that Jason Scales actual genuine Twitter feed. Tick 3. Did Jason Scales post that content under his own name on his own Twitter feed at the times shown. Tick 4. Have any specific names been mentioned? No. Tick. 5. Have any specific claims been made about any illegal acts undertaken by named people. No. Tick. So it’s news that can be reported. Whats the issue.

Two-lane Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Surely it is not necessary to post screenshots. All that is necessary (and I assume legal) is to point out that scalesjason has a twitter account. And scroll down a bit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
