My advice to bloggers (like me) who don’t want to be sued in China

January 10th, 2007

Write about human rights!

Mention the Tiananmen square massacre and express your support for a free, independent Tibet. Don’t forget to link to such subversive organizations as the Open Net Initiative, Human Rights Watch, the Berkman Center, and the BBC.

Then, it will be difficult for a Chinese plaintiff to prove that your blog has actually been read in China, which doesn’t prevent him from suing you, though.  But suing you for what you have posted on your blog is also more difficult for a lawyer if he cannot access your blog from his country, so you’ll be safe.
