It isn't. This is just a tired old horse that keeps getting trotted out by those who want to destroy the transparency that others have to constantly fight to keep.
Some people don't like the idea that what they say today, can be compared to what they said last year, and that this can be done by anyone with the persistence to dig.
Any true libel, can and is, removed as soon as it's found. However in the U.S. "you can't libel garbage by saying it stinks" and opinions are not libel, so instead you get smoke screens like this trying to confuse the evidence. And we operate under U.S. laws no matter what craziness Britain institutes :)
