Providing comparative analysis that examines both Western and
non-Western legal systems, this wide-ranging Handbook expands and
enriches the existing privacy and defamation law literature and
addresses the fundamental issues facing today's scholars and
practitioners. Comparative Privacy and Defamation provides
insightful commentary on issues of theory and doctrine, including
the challenges of General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) and
the impact of new technologies on the law. Chapters explore the
origins and development of the right to privacy, privacy rights of
photographic subjects and defamation by photo-manipulation, and the
right to be forgotten. Containing contributions from expert
international scholars, this comprehensive Handbook investigates
the liability of internet intermediaries in cases of defamation and
the emerging problem of global injunctions before concluding with
eight country focussed studies. Engaging and accessible, this
Handbook will be a key resource for students and scholars
researching in the fields of privacy and defamation law, internet
and technological law and information and media law. Contributors

The principles of freedom of expression have been developed over
centuries. How are they reserved and passed on? How can large
internet gatekeepers be required to respect freedom of expression
and to contribute actively to a diverse and plural marketplace of
ideas? These are key issues for media regulation, and will remain
so for the foreseeable decades. The book starts with the
foundations of freedom of expression and freedom of the press, and
then goes on to explore the general issues concerning the
regulation of the internet as a specific medium. It then turns to
analysing the legal issues relating to the three most important
gatekeepers whose operations directly affect freedom of expression:
ISPs, search engines and social media platforms. Finally it
summarises the potential future regulatory and media policy
directions. The book takes a comparative legal approach, focusing
primarily on English and American regulations, case law and
jurisprudential debates, but it also details the relevant
international developments (Council of Europe, European Union) as
well as the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights.

The tension between blasphemy laws and the freedom of expression in
modern times is a key area of debate within legal academia and
beyond. With contributions by leading scholars, this volume
compares blasphemy laws within a number of Western liberal
democracies and debates the legitimacy of these laws in the
twenty-first century. Including comprehensive and up-to-date
comparative country studies, this book considers the formulation of
blasphemy bans, relevant jurisprudential interpretations, the
effect on society, and the ensuing convictions and penalties where
applicable. It provides a useful historical analysis by discussing
the legal-political rationales behind the recent abolition of
blasphemy laws in some Western states. Contributors also consider
the challenges to the tenability of blasphemy laws in a selection
of well-balanced theoretical chapters. This book is essential
reading for scholars working within the fields of human rights law,
philosophy and sociology of religion, and comparative politics.
