After Leveson: the internet needs regulation to halt 'information terrorism'
http://www.theguardian.com/media/greenslade/2013/mar/06/leveson-report-internet

My Topic:
The regulations on the information in Internet are necessary.

What I hope to learn from this source:
 I want to find the facts that can support my arguments of this topic and establish credibility by quotation of the expert. The expert also extracted the information of a book, 'After Leveson'


Notes:

1. Citing "freedom of expression", companies will host their anonymous contributors' bulling, lies, smears, breathtaking invasions of privacy and reputation-destroying carnage while refusing all responsibility for what they host. 
2. Example of information misuse : Someone took one of his colleague's name and set up a Facebook. Some true and some false facts were on the site. Those facts and events seemed to be credible and this played havoc with his personal life and relationships. But Facebook company avoided the responsibility.
3. Case of Jimmy Savile : much of the reputational damage that has followed the Jimmy Savileallegations falls into that same category of information terrorism, or certainly information assault.
4. Why? completely unrelated media stories, about completely unrelated people, mainly completely unrelated circumstances, and unrelated crimes – inspired by the pass-the-parcel "it happened to me too" accusation culture, fed by the never-sleeping information machine.
5.  examples of reputational damage

Final Thoughts:

The examples on this source would be a big evidence of harmful consequences of excessive information on Internet("Information Terrorism", according to the author). Due to the characters of the Internet, some people had to suffer the disaster of reputational damage.
