- Title
None of Your Business: Protecting the Right to Write Anonymous Business Reviews Online.
- Authors
Cherner, Lindsey
- Abstract
The article analyzes the fine balance between the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment protection afforded to anonymous online business reviews and the state's interest in removing false communications made about a business or business owner. Topics discussed include development of anonymity as a protected First Amendment right; rise of Internet speech and the protections of the Communications Decency Act; and conflicting standards used for unmasking anonymous speakers on the Internet.
