Daniel went onto an Internet message board and found that his ex-wife, Faye, had posted a message calling him a fat, insensitive jerk who only cared about watching sports on TV. Does Daniel have any protection against Faye's making such statements to a potentially large number of readers, some of whom may know Daniel and some of whom may not?
Faye's postings have First Amendment protection of free speech, as long as Fay does not commit defamation. Courts have tended to find that such statements are opinion, not fact, and therefore are protected speech. The fact that a statement may be offensive is not reason enough to suppress it.
