EU Court Ruling Could End Anonymous Website Comments

The European Court of Human Rights has issued a decision that anti-censorship campaigners say could spell an end to anonymous website comments in the EU. The judgment came through in a case involving Delfi, an Estonian news site that had been found liable by a court in that country for offensive comments posted by anonymous users under one of its stories.
