Cyber Slander

Cyber slander refers to the act of making false statements about someone online that can harm their reputation. This can occur through social media, websites, or email, where damaging information is spread rapidly. Unlike traditional slander, which typically involves spoken words, cyber slander uses digital platforms to amplify its reach. Because these statements can lead to significant personal or professional consequences for the targeted individual, cyber slander is increasingly recognized as a legal issue, and victims may seek remedies through civil lawsuits or online platform policies.
