Facebook is the world's most popular social media platform, making it easy to post defamatory statements and share them with the rest of the world. Libel and slander can be harmful for businesses and individuals alike, but Facebook's business review pages provide ample opportunity for defamation. Because Facebook allows people to post comments and reviews, they cannot always delete or remove them. If someone posts something defamatory about your business or organization on their page, you can contact a Facebook defamation lawyer for help.

The first step in filing a Facebook defamation lawsuit is to preserve any evidence relating to the defamation. You can do this by taking screenshots of the posts or videos that defame you, as well as keeping a copy of the offending poster's Facebook account URL. Having screenshots or video evidence will help your Facebook defamation lawyer prove that the slander has caused you damage.

Defamation can be difficult to prove in court. In California, for example, a person's reputation is damaged by a negative post about them. However, defamation cases are rare because they require a significant investment of time, money, and expertise. Defamation can take many forms, including online posts, tweets, or videos. In fact, the Internet has enabled automated lawsuits generated by DoNotPay and other similar sites.

Defamation can come in several forms, including spoken or written statements on social media. While every vile comment on a Facebook page can be considered defamation, not every online comment is libel. In order to be considered defamation, a third party must make an untrue statement and cause irreparable harm to a person. Defamation lawyers are highly trained to identify the various forms of defamation and determine the best course of action.
