The Supreme Court, Fifth Criminal Department, by decision on December 1st, 2022, hearing on September 21, 2022, no. 45680, stated that the blog manager cannot be held liable for defamation by omission in supervising, since a blog is not a telematic newspaper.
However, he is liable by way of accomplice liability for defamation aggravated by the medium of publicity for disparaging writings posted on his site by third parties when, having become aware of them, he fails to promptly take down them, given that such conduct equates to the conscious sharing of the content damaging to another’s reputation and allows further spread of the defamatory posts.
