Defamation of Business

January 17, 2014 Internet Law

Defamation of a business online is pervasive in modern society. If your business has been defamed online, it can often result in a loss of customers and, consequently, a loss of revenue for your business. Further complicating the problem, third party service providers, such as Yelp, Blogspot, Craigslist, PissedConsumer, and Rip Off Report, are protected by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which states that a provider of an interactive computer service cannot be held liable for the republication of defamatory or tortious statements.

Our attorneys are experienced in dealing with online defamation and defamation litigation.
