Express Law Doncaster Complaints
Internet Law is a very complex subject, this is mainly down to the majority of people not really understanding whats legal online. We've ran into our own problems online with certain websites.
The website in question allows users to leave comments on a phone number, this system can easily be abused though and ex-employees has used this forum against us to form a hate campaign, and it's been a long drawn out process but we're close to being clear of libel defamation.
This forum allows users to post any content with no moderation and it's full anonymous.
At first we didn't really know how to handle the situation as it's still quite uncommon for libel defamation to affect a company, but I suspect that it's frequency will increase dramatically in time. We tried contacting the owner of the website, but didn't get any assistance.
The forum in question wouldn't remove any comments even ones that were PURE defamation against our name, eventually we got in contact with Google who were very helpful in removing some of the individual pages that contained defamation off their search index, but the site still exists if you know the exact URL.
But this experience has made us think about how to handle our reputation on the web due to the lack of moderation out there.
We kind of harmed ourselves by wanted to constantly check the defamation and it gave the page a lot of publicity which then made it rise above out site on Google, which then some of our customers were viewing and it started making them question us, this is where Google came to the rescue and removed any pages they deemed libel defamation. But we had to also prove that the accusations where false to Google, but it should be the perpetrator who has to prove themselves.
There has also been similar cases to our which can be viewed online if you check the Chilling Effects website.This whole scenario asks the question "how safe is a companies reputation on the web"? and we believe more should be done to increase a company's defence to online defamation and there should be more assistance due to the nature of the comments, which the perpetrators identity is kept hidden.
We post weekly on our blog to help people in similar situations overcome false accusations, you can view this blog by visiting [http://www.expresslawdoncastercomplaints.co.uk] - hopefully this article will give you the knowledge you need to defend against libel defamation.
