Below are some basic steps that you can take if you discover defamatory comments being made against you online. Document the Defamatory Content: Assess the Contents Validity: Respond Calmly and Professionally: Seek Legal Advice: Request Removal of Defamatory Content: Consider Issuing a Cease and Desist Letter:
There are legal defenses to claims of defamation. The strongest defense will always be that the statement was true. A true statementno matter how harmfulis not legally actionable. Other legal defenses challenge any or all of the necessary elements of the claim.
Defamation occurs if you make a false statement of fact about someone else that harms that persons reputation. Such speech is not protected by the First Amendment and could result in criminal and civil liability. Defamation is limited in multiple respects though.
The most common defenses to defamation are: 1) truth; 2) consent; 3) privilege; and 4) the statute of limitations. Perhaps the most distinct aspect of the defamation cause of action is that falsity is required. In other words, the statement publicized about the plaintiff must be false in order to prove defamation.
Big picture-wise, there are two main types of defamation: libel is written defamation, while slander is spoken. But theres a lot more to understand about the different forms of defamation, including the public-versus-private figure distinction, the per se types of libel and slander, and more.
