MDC SHOULD BRING A SUIT AGAINST “JOHN DOE” AND USE THE AUTHORITY OF THE COURT TO OBTAIN THE IDENTITY FROM NUVIEW.

Explanation:

Cyber torts are torts that arise from online conduct, online defamation is the most prevalent. Defamation is wrongfully hurting a person's reputation by communicating false statements about that person to others.

It is difficult for business firms to know who is posting defamatory statements about its policies and products because the posts are anonymous.

An internet service provider (ISP) can only disclose personal information about its customers only when ordered to do so by a court.

Most jurisdictions permit a plaintiff who does not yet know a defendant's identity to file suit against John Doe (fictitious name used in lawsuits when the identity of a party is not known) and then obtain from the ISPs the identity of the person behind the defamatory statements.

Therefore, MDC should BRING A LAWSUIT AGAINST "JOHN DOE" AND USE THE AUTHORITY OF THE COURT TO OBTAIN THE IDENTITY FROM NUVIEW.
