Gericht: Meinungsfreiheit erlaubt auch im Internet keine Beleidigung
Das Recht auf freie Meinungsäußerung erlaubt auch im Internet keine Beleidigung. So brauche es niemand hinzunehmen, in einem Beitrag eines Online-Dienstes als "dämlich" oder "bescheuert" bezeichnet zu werden, heißt es in einem am Freitag veröffentlichten Urteil des Landgerichts Coburg . (Aktenzeichen: 21 O 595/02; rechtskräftig). Das Gericht gab damit einem Kläger Recht, der sich vom Herausgeber eines online erscheinenden Fachmagazins beleidigt gefühlt hatte. Das Magazin verkauft und vermittelt Fahrzeuge. [heise]

CIA secret chat room investigated
Following onto but totally unrelated to the John Deutch saga (RISKS-20.78),
the CIA has uncovered a secret chat room within its classified confines ``to
trade off-color jokes, musings, and observations that went undetected for
more than five years'' -- involving about 160 employees.

risk of using 'meaningful' file names
A Milton Keynes Council worker sent a reply to one or more people who were
commenting on proposals for a travelers' halting site. The letter had an
embarrassing addition to the intended text. In small letters at the bottom
was the file name: "H:\Gypsy letter to whingers.doc".
Of course this risk is equally the risk of not proof-reading a printed copy.
