Q&A

Question: Can I sue someone for publishing something about me on Facebook, Twitter or via email?

Answer:

Yes. Any comment that is made public and is malicious or is intended to cause harm can be considered defamatory. If you have published something on social media or via email, or someone has published something about you, consider resolving the issue informally. If this fails, you should consider speaking to a defamation specialist.
