The internet has made a mess of the privacy laws in the UK.

But how are other countries coping? Are their laws a lot more liberal so that there is no conflict? Have any already changed their laws to include internet postings? Or have they yet to face a similar problem? It seems unlikely that the UK is the first to have to deal with this type of situation.
