Professionals Against Cyber-Slander & Cyber-Bullying
This Group?was formed to connect and bolster those of us who want to enjoy the freedoms of speech afforded by the U.S. Constitution, but who also recognize that often uncontrolable damage is created by Online Defamation, Online Bullying and Online Harrassment at the hands of known or unknown users.
Our collective effort can be used to inform one another of certain tactics and strategies to combat this area of the law that is grossly underdeveloped and which is still too young to address much of the slander and libel that is published online.
Come here and tell your story, help others to deal with the online defamation or bullying of which they are a victim. Hopefully, we can help one another in tracking, stopping and pursuing these online polluters for the damage they create.
Announcement from Professionals Against Cyber-Slander & Cyber-Bullying
Please take the time to refer this Group to as many Professionals and Businesses, as you have time.I believe that we are seeing a new tort develop in popularity. It's not that the tort of defamation is new, but that the tort of defamation via the Internet is aggressively growing, just as car accident tort claims grew with the invention of the motorized vehicle. Prior to the motorized vehicle, car accident lawsuits were limited to a few horse and buggy claims (do the research).
Just like the turn into the 20th Century increased the motorized vehicle accident claims for the tort of negligence, the turn into the 21st Century has brought about a way for EVERY person to easily express themselves, positively and negatively, thereby increasing instances for the tort of defamation to occur. Most of us remember when the only way to defame someone was to have it printed in the newspaper or to print leaflets and pass them around. In school, maybe some graffitti on the bathroom wall was viewed. That is all gone. The Internet and smartphones provide an unprescedented vehicle for the destruction of lives (literally in some cases death), businesses & careers, via the defamatory comments on the Internet.
What most people don't know: defamation is usually covered under a homeowner's insurance policy, just as car accidents are covered under car insurance policies. Thus, I predict, the rate at which these claims will grow in the courts will be drastic as the courts realize the validity of the actual damage to its victim and as the victims make claims against the antagonists' insurance policies.
This Group is interested in growth, your input, your ideas, education, your community outreach, and helping to stop or curb the proliferation of defamation and bullying on the Internet.
Please share this Group, it impacts everyone from Professionals to children. As Professionals, we have a unique position to influence our communities, enforcement and laws. Grab a shovel and help dig us out of this problem; be part of the solution.
