Tattle Life: Why the case against gossip site fell apart

Tattle Life: Why the case against gossip site fell apart

Published 5 hours ago
Description

Tattle Life is a self-described “commentary website”. Supporters of the site say it’s free speech, protects consumers, and that influencers are fair game, with the website saying it has a zero-tolerance policy to any abusive, hateful or harmful content. But critics claim users have published private documents, that the site facilitates vile and cruel trolling – even stalking.  


Last year, it was revealed County Antrim couple Neil and Donna Sands seemed to have taken the so-called ‘king of the trolls’, alleged owner of the site, Sebastian Bond, down. But now court has ruled he didn’t even know his crown was being seized - and the couple have to pay back £300,000 in damages.   


The Bel Tel's Olivia Peden is joined by Belfast Telegraph reporter Kurtis Reid.
