In 2006 the Estonian “Delfi” web portal published a material about a ferry company. The material was accompanied by readers’ offensive comments, which the company did not like and asked the website to remove. The material was deleted only after 6 weeks, but the company was not satisfied – the material had been removed very late.
The European Court of Human Rights confirmed the website is also responsible for the comments, and must supervise their content.
Armenian users, too, often leave comments in Armenian portals, which contain much offense, slander and words threatening the reputation.
