The day the defamatory comment is first posted online is considered the date of publication (when the statute of limitations for libel cases starts) for a website.
The "single publication rule," which holds that the statute of limitations term starts to expire when a defamatory statement is first published, has been enacted by the majority of states.
The single publication criterion has generally been applied to online publications. The statute of limitations usually kicks in when a defamatory statement is first published online.
Only when online content is significantly altered will courts likely determine that a new statute of limitations period has begun;
if you're considering significantly changing or rewriting existing material, be sure to take this into account. For information on whether the state accepts the single publication rule, consult the section for your specific state.
