About this service
Defamation is a legal term that includes both libel or slander: the publication (whether written or oral) of false statements which are likely to injure the reputation of another. The nature of comments that can hurt someones reputation can vary widely, so there is no one answer as to what is defamatory. Negative comments about someones honesty, morality, or skill can be defamatory. Insulting someone to their face, privately, is not defamatory; the comments must be shared with a third party (someone other than the speaker and the subject of the comments).
