Changes to Dogs Victoria's Facebook Comments
Thursday, 21 October 2021
In a landmark ruling, the High Court has announced that anyone who operate a Facebook site, is liable for prosecution for any defamatory remarks others post.
What does this mean for Dogs Victoria?
It has been decided that all comments will be disabled for all posts on any Dogs Victoria pages or sites till further notice. This includes the dogs Victoria main Facebook page, the Dogs Victoria members only group and the Victorian dog show entry numbers group.
How does this new change impact Dogs Victoria members?
This means that members will no longer be able to comment on posts that are uploaded to any pages or groups associated with Dogs Victoria.
As a member, how can you ask questions?
We still encourage members to submit posts to our closed Dogs Victoria members only group where our moderators and admin are regularly working to answer your questions and post helpful information for all our members. For any further questions or concerns, please contact communications@dogsvictoria.org.au
For more information on the new High Court ruling, here is an article from the Herald Sun.
