Defamation on the Internet is becoming a more and more serious problem as the use of the Internet increases. While the spread of the Internet makes it possible for everyone to publish their message to the world, it has also caused a lot of damage by undesirable information.The issue of intermediary liability has been discussed since the 1990 s. The role of the intermediaries such as ISPs is particularly important because they could remove or block access to problematic information. On the other hand, strict liability on the intermediary could bring about chilling effects on free speech and lead to excessive behavior that might threaten the free speech and privacy on the Internet.The regime of intermediary liability varies from country to country because it is really controversial issue. This paper focuses on the intermediary liability and compares legal systems in the U.S., the EU, and Japan in order to provide suggestions for better solution.
