  Do you mean someone edited a comment you made on their blog? If that’s the case, no.

  Actually, yes, you do. You, the commenter, retain copyright on the comment you made. Web hosts keep records of when comments are edited, so you can actually lay a DMCA notice on them, asserting your copyright, and forcing them to take down the altered comment. If it’s really bad, you can sue.

  This is little-known, but important.

  First of all, we need the URL of the blog that changed your comment.
