After eating at a local restaurant, in which you had a heated disagreement with the owner, you decide to go online and post a review. Your review states that not only would you never eat their again due to their unprofessionalism, but that your food was bad and the restaurant was so unclean that it should be inspected by the health department, because you "saw a rat run across the floor of the kitchen." If your review is posted anonymously, does the restaurant owner have any legal recourse so they may find out who you are and possibly sue you for defamation? Yes, the business may have the right to uncover your identity in order to bring a suit against you. No, because you posted anonymously, you are protected. No, the first amendment protects all freedom of speech, even online. Yes, any business can find out who posts any statements about their business whether defamatory or not
