3710 REVIEW GRANTED Statements published on the internet may be found to be statements of fact, even though many outrageous statements are published on the internet; if such publications are defamatory, they are libel rather than slander; an injunction against publishing defamatory statements in the future was found to be an unconstitutional prior restraint of expression; an injunction does not bind persons who are not parties to the action in which it was issued.CitationVARIAN v DELFINO (Internet Defamation) 113 CA4 273 [See: CivC 45a, 45; White v Valenta 234 CA2 243; Brown v Kelly 48 C3 711]
