FAQ
Social media defamation can take various forms, including: Text Posts: False statements made in posts or comments. Images and Videos: Defamatory content can be conveyed through manipulated images or videos. Reviews and Ratings: False negative reviews on platforms like Google, Yelp, or Facebook.
Truth is the first, and easiest, defense to a defamation claim. As discussed in the elements of defamation, the statement about you must have been false. If a Defendant can show that the statements were true, or even substantially true, then they could defeat a claim for defamation.
In most jurisdictions, truth is a defence to defamation claims, provided it can be proven. However, in some jurisdictions, truth alone is not sufficient: it is further required that the public interest in the publication be established as well.
Proving the Truth of the Statements The defendant must prove that the defamatory statements were, in fact, true. For instance, if the statements concern the quality of goods or services, the defendant could provide independent testing or other evidence supporting the truth of the claims.
Common defenses in defamation cases include proving that the statement was true, made with permission, and was a factual claim rather than just an opinion.
Truth is the best defense to defamation. For example if sued for calling a person a criminal, then the defendant could produce a valid record of a criminal conviction, properly certified and exemplified and the defendant would probably be granted summary judgement.
