Billions of people are online often showing the worst versions of themselves. That doesn't make it ok but chasing down every potential slanderer on Facebook just seems like something that should be very low priority for the courts in question.

So do you believe defamation laws should not exist at all or that they should not apply to anything publicly published on Facebook?
Obviously courts should consider severity and other factors but factors like damage to reputation, other damages etc. should be the deciding factor on whether a court would accept the case not whether it's published on Facebook or anonymously.
