I'm a little unclear on this from reading
Wikipedia's policy on libel.
It seems concerned only with libel of individuals. What is the policy
with regards to organisations? In the UK the libel laws cover
organisations as well as individuals.
From what I remember last time libel was a hot button issue, there is
little regard given to UK laws as there are no assets in the UK. I was
told people weren't overly worried about the UK law, only US law as that
is where the servers are held.
There are US laws regarding defamation of organizations too. In fact,
several US states even have laws against defamation of food.
