Barrett v. Rosenthal

This article documents a current event. Information may change rapidly as the event progresses.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Northern California have filed a friend-of-the-court brief in a case that could undermine a federal statute protecting the free speech of bloggers, Internet service providers, and other individuals who use the Internet to post content written by others. The case, Barrett v. Rosenthal, in question is a libel suit filed against women's health advocate Ilena Rosenthal after she posted a controversial opinion piece on a Usenet news group.
