Application granted. (1) It was necessary to consider each comment individually. The first comment contained two allegations, of drug-dealing and of theft, on which the political party had required reassurance. Another comment rehearsed the earlier drug-dealing charge, and as with the first comment it could not be dismissed out of hand. A further comment included an accusation of hypocrisy, which was capable of founding a cause of action. The remaining comments could be characterised as mere vulgar abuse to which no sensible person would attach much weight: they did not represent examples of a real and substantial tort such as to suggest any need for vindication of T's reputation. However, the fact that some contributors to the thread were talking nonsense did not in itself mean that all the other comments should be similarly dismissed (see paras 26-29, 31 of judgment). (2) The significant factor was that G was not required to take any positive step in the process of continuing the accessibility of the offending material, whether or not it had been notified of a complainant's objection. In those circumstances G should not be regarded as a publisher, or even as one who authorised publications. G's role as a platform provider was a purely passive one, Bunt v Tilley [2006] EWHC 407 (QB), [2007] 1 W.L.R. 1243 considered (para.39). (3) Whilst T might have thought that it was implicit in his complaints that he was denying any allegation of theft or drug-dealing, it could not be right that any provider was required, in light of the strict terms of reg.19, to take all such protestations at face value. Clearly more was required for a provider to acquire a sufficient state of knowledge to be deprived of that statutory protection (para.60). (4) Accordingly, it was appropriate for the court to decline jurisdiction and to set aside the order for service out of the jurisdiction (para.62).
