Hi! In Estonia here, we have had such cases. I unfortunatelly am not sure how theese have ended up, but a very serious discussion has been taken.
The possible consiquence of this here, may be forbidding online comments as news portals are not really keen on taking the responsibility. (there is a point in their arguments actually) As far as I know a concrete court case is taking place for a year or so.

The judge ruled that they are not a part of the story and therefore the newspaper isn't liable. No English URL I could come up with quickly.
