Libel?

metaphorm | karma 3215 | avg karma 2.18 · | 2016-05-26 13:31:16+00:00

libel and slander are defined as writing or saying _false_ things that damage a person's reputation or property. if the damaging statement is _true_ its not libel or slander.

Libel is printed, slander is spoken.

Technically since the defamation is written rather than spoken, it is libel, not slander. :-)

slander is spoken, the term you are looking for is libel.

heretoo | karma 372 | avg karma 3.21 · | 2018-06-28 23:28:42

Defamation implies intent.

cercatrova | karma 7810 | avg karma 3.1 · | 2022-10-14 11:42:36

Depends on your jurisdiction, really. Even in Western countries the laws differ on what is slander and what isn't.

Chris2048 | karma 2919 | avg karma 0.51 · | 2017-04-12 10:52:54

By slander, you mean make false comments?

quitit | karma 2541 | avg karma 3.42 · | 2021-12-05 09:51:46

If it’s a lie, it’s defamation (libel).
