Just a note but whilst this is technically true very little is actually done to enforce it. Most people don't bother reporting it since even if it is taken seriously the legal chaos isn't something a lot of people want to endure.
Laws also differ from country to country and the internet isn't very well regulated in general. I suspect that those responsible realise this and thus act out because they can, essentially, count on getting away with it in many cases.
I actually dealt with slander on tumblr, and I can attest that they will do nothing about it. I reported it, explained the situation. And I got messages back stating "Tumblr cannot say what Slander is, so we will not police our users' content in this regard." And said for me to take it up with the police themselves.
It's not meant to justify, rather, I'm saying it's a screwed up thing and people shouldn't treat others like that. It's -wrong-. And it's very unfortunate sites aren't doing their job and are doing the whole... Well...

'Hands off' sort of thing with how they handle their site. But I digress, people should be nicer! It actually may put a smile on someone's face if you (the generic you) were nice and told them something nice that day instead of lambasting them or talking crap about a community in a public forum.
