  1. Actual damages, small; punitive damages, large. The purpose of large punitive damages is to discourage the offender from re-offending, for everyone's benefit. As case law goes, this promises to be a huge decision, as it affects the casually irresponsible behavior of the MSM going forward, protecting everyone's future. I just wondered, for no good reason: if socmeds are not publishers, does that mean the content they deliver cannot be considered "published"/"posted"? I mean, if I comment on farcebook, but farcebook can't be considered to have published the comment, how can I be held responsible for any sort of publishing or posting to public, technically? Doesn't everything published require a publisher to have performed publication? I am not responsible for what I have not published/posted.
