| 總結: | Online intermediaries play an important role in publication of information on the Internet as
they generally perform one of three functions, namely as mere conduits, caches or hosts of
information. These intermediaries have been categorically classified into connectivity
intermediaries such as Internet service providers (ISPs), navigation intermediaries such as
Google, and commercial and social networking providers and other hosts such as Wikipedia,
Facebook, Twitter, blogs and many others. Since Web 2.0 platforms and other content hosts
including blogs are easier to trace and often operate locally, they appear as an easy target in
defamation suit as they represent a point of control or gatekeeper over materials on the
Internet. This has resulted in undesirable consequences for bloggers as they are likely to be
exposed to defamatory postings by third parties. As such, this study will embark on the study
of potential liability of bloggers as online intermediaries in relation to third party defamatory
