But even the best filters have limits

But Prime Minister David Cameron and other senior politicians say a new "privacy law" is needed V3 Rosetta Stone rather than leaving the matter to the discretion of courts and judges. He said the current situation created the "unsustainable" situation whereby media could not report on something everyone in the country was talking about.Some hope a new UK law could become a template for wider European and international regulation, protecting individuals from scurrilous, often untrue accusations that could wreck families or businesses.But others warn it might still be ineffective. With the Internet crossing borders, foreign-based websites in particular might find their way around any national legislation. Wikileaks, for example, has already moved to locate its servers in countries it sees as more friendly such as Iceland.Tellingly, few of the celebrities identified aside from Giggs so far have much if any name recognition outside Britain.Truly global figures such as golfer Tiger Woods, his adulterous affairs emblazoned over the media, or former IMF chief Dominique Strauss Kahn would find it even tougher to stifle worldwide media chatter across multiple jurisdictions.One public relations expert Rosetta Stone languages estimated it could cost up to $100,000 a month in legal fees to keep a story out of the mainstream media simultaneously in, for example, Britain, the US and France simultaneously -- and even then a website based in another country might still run it.NATIONAL LAW STRUGGLES"National law has much less meaning on the Internet," said Control Risks' Wood. "Governments can -- as China does -- block individual websites but it's hard to stop information leaking through. It's also hard to hold sites like Twitter responsible for everything that is written on them."Some celebrities are said to be aiming to take legal action to force Twitter to identify those who broke superinjunctions and name names from anonymous Twitter accounts. Some argue the micro-blogging site should apply controls."Perhaps the real outlaws here are the platforms such as Twitter that control the flow of information without wanting to take responsibility for moderating the content," said Boyd at Carter-Ruck. "It should be possible to build in some kind of filter to limit the flow of unlawful V3 Rosetta Stone Spanish content."But even the best filters have limits.
