We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
2. For defamation, the aggrieved person has to file a suit or approach a JMFC/JMSC, and the court decides whether it's defamatory or not. Violence in response to a perceived transgression of FOE is not acceptable.
3. Content may be abusive or have a political agenda, does not make it beyond FOE. Political agendas are one of the MOST IMPORTANT things that FOE has to protect. Constructive criticism is not mandatory for a person to be allowed to speak.
And if it is indeed FOE then then defamation as an offence should be repealed.
So where do we draw the line? And what if such content is targeted towards you?
Mamata arrests vloggers.
Congress arrests journalists in Telangana.
Uddhav Sena arrests Arnab Goswami and demolishes Kangana Ranaut’s office.
Now Shiv Sena does this.
What future does FOE have in India? Maybe AAP is the only party that does not do this?
