Things You Should Know When Dealing With Online Defamation
It is a real struggle having to deal with justified reproaches once in a while as a person. Having to deal with unfair and uncalled for online attacks on the other hand is devastating and heartbreaking. Dealing with cyber bullies who use the online platforms to tarnish people’s reputations is not easy.
Using a non-legal approach or a legal approach is where there is a battle of opinions come in for most people facing an online attack. The legal way is a little tough as it shows your attackers you are ready to battle this out the justifiable way while the non-legal way is not all that serious butt captures the same spirit. With the legal way, you shall have to consider the legal fees but it is an undoubtedly successful way to deal with the issue. Usually the legal approach sometimes may seem a little heavy handed ending up in garnering sympathizers for your attacker.
Communication with your online attacker shall have to be established when dealing with the non-legal approach. Talking to your attacker may indeed result in solving the issue amicably. The non-legal approach might be impossible though if the attacker is using a fake identity or is posting damaging content anonymously.
You will need a defamation attorney when the false statements being made are by anonymous people because they have the ability to find out who they are if need be, take them to court. You will find that the case won’t need to go to court but you need to be open to that option if need arises. Most of the online attacks are meant to throw you into financial pitfalls or area from plain malice and thus affecting your source of income, the court shall find just cause for a case. The lawyer will find the information needed and do the needful.
As you await the court process to go on, there is another way that you can still use to bring down your online attacker, that is report them. Report the domain name to their registrars, to their hosting companies, to the social network and to Google. One or the other is bound to do something about it. This, however, should be used as a last resort and used with caution as it might also look like you are attacking your attackers in a retaliatory style. Just in case there is a backlash upon taking this step, you shall need to take in your stakeholder’s thought on the same and seek legal advice from your lawyer. The results of pulling this stunt may be very tough so you need to be prepared.
