270.970 Internet Review of Physicians
The Medical Society of the State of New York (MSSNY) will ask the American Medical Association (AMA) to seek federal legislation and/or regulation which would amend internet privacy laws so that websites hosting reviews of physicians will be required to: obtain the name of the person posting the review; keep this information on file; and inform the posting party that a physician requesting this information from the website host must be provided with the name of the person writing the review; and websites hosting reviews of physicians be required to post a warning against libelous and other legally inappropriate statements.
