爭議的起源是 有人在網上平台寫了這句:“李怡卑鄙下流缺德,他是蘋果日報養的”
。。。
在我眼中,這句話有可能犯了誹謗。
1. Fair comments 的底線是:【參考一個普通法體系的案例】[http://www.duhaime.org/LegalDictionary/F/FairComment.aspx】 In order to be fair, it must be shown that the facts upon which the comment is based are truly stated and that the comment is an honest expression of the publisher’s opinion relating to those facts. Where a comment imputes evil, base or corrupt motives to a person, it must be shown that such imputations are warranted by, and could reasonably be drawn from those facts."The comment must be made on a matter of public interest. It could be of public interest because of the importance of the person about whom the comment is made, or because of the event, occasion or circumstances that give rise to the opinion. 2. “蘋果日報養的”這句話的 innuendo 意思就是“養的狗”。 這一部分的措辭,以我的專業經驗,肯定不是fair comment.[因為 須要過兩關:subjective test, objective test.] 3.再者,說這句話的人還須要證明 “honest belief” 以及 “without malice”. 而被 comment 的人【李怡】必須是社會重要人物以及被comment 的事件 屬於public interest. =========== 言論自由的界線: --- 法律上的限制: libel, slander, obscenity, pornography, sedition, incitement, fighting words, classified information, copyright violation, trade secrets, food labeling, non-disclosure agreements, the right to privacy, the right to be forgotten, public security, and perjury. -- 道德的限制: 粗言穢語,謊言,意淫,喧嘩吵鬧。等等。 。。。。。。。
