Review List
This review list is provided to inform you about this document in question and assist you in its preparation. Retraction requests are generally sought by individuals, as opposed to companies, and are more successful when pursued by an individual due to the larger damages usually awarded in such situations. These requests can be made of website owners as well as the traditional media. Website owners are just as liable and can be prosecuted in any state, due to the national, if not international, nature of their distribution.
