online defamation

Online defamation involves making false statements about someone on the internet that harm their reputation. This can occur through social media, websites, or emails, and includes both libel (written false statements) and slander (spoken false statements). To be considered defamation, the statements must be untrue, communicated to others, and damaging to the person's reputation. Online defamation can have serious consequences for individuals or businesses, and those affected may seek legal remedies to address or stop the harmful content.
