Amman: Students of the course “In-depth Study in Civil Law,” delivered by the Assistant to the President and faculty member at the Faculty of Law, Dr. Tamara Nasereddin, conducted an interview with Dr. Ahmad Al-Nuaimat, Head of the Media Response Unit at the National Center for Security and Crisis Management, regarding the civil liability of a website for damages resulting from published comments in accordance with Jordanian law.
The lecture identified the extent to which the general rules, the Press and Publication Law, and the Cybercrime Law are able to accommodate all cases imposed by the nature of the work of websites with regard to the comments posted by them. It also addressed the need to enact special legislation that regulates the work of these websites and provides solutions to all the issues imposed by the nature of their work.
The lecture focused on addressing the issues of civil liability for the website owner for comments with harmful content imposed by the new technology in its work, which often exceed the traditional limits of general civil liability rules.
