NON-PECUNIARY DAMAGE DONE THROUGH SOCIAL NETWORKS AND LOCAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURT

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, analysis of the challenges of non-pecuniary damage done through social media networks and local jurisdiction of the court is performed, while using the method of analysis, the historical method and the inductive-deductive method. The appearance of social media and other internet platforms has significant importance for exchanging data and connecting people, but also the development of the information technology have caused many problems. The goal of many social networks is to share information between the users and to expand the number of users who have received that information. Unfortunatly, that sharing of information occurs without checking the truth of that information. The existence of social networks make it very easier to become a target of defamation, but filing a libel lawsuit and demanding a non-pecuniary damage might still be a challenge. Main challenges are identifying the person that made defamatory statement, defining the way to compensate caused non-pecuniary damage and determination of the local jurisdiction of the court.
