How to deal with the slander of others on the internet?

Those who slander others' reputation rights may first ask the infringer to apologize publicly to eliminate the adverse effects caused by this.

If you cause mental damage to others, you should also compensate for the losses. If the infringer ignores the infringer's request, he can bring a lawsuit to the court, demanding that the infringer stop the infringement, restore his reputation, eliminate the influence, make an apology, and demand compensation for losses. Those who repeatedly fabricate facts to slander others, or cause serious consequences, may be investigated for criminal responsibility according to the crime of libel.

If it is an online rumor, causing serious consequences such as mental disorder, self-mutilation and suicide of the victim or his close relatives, it will be suspected of defamation. The crime of libel refers to the deliberate fabrication and dissemination of fictional facts, which is enough to degrade the personality and damage the reputation of others.

Internet libel refers to the act of fabricating and spreading false facts on the internet by means of modern information dissemination, which damages the reputation of others. Compared with traditional libel, online libel has more distinct characteristics, and the control of online libel is more likely to lead to the value conflict between citizens' freedom of speech and citizens' right of reputation.

Compared with traditional libel, online libel has more distinct characteristics, and the control of online libel is more likely to lead to the value conflict between citizens' freedom of speech and citizens' right of reputation. In practice, there are great differences in identification, so it is very important to determine crime and non-crime and even imputation through specific circumstances.

The appearance of Internet will affect many aspects of traditional libel law, especially transnational litigation. Compared with traditional publishing and broadcasting technologies, the Internet is more popular and convenient, and information exchange is faster and more convenient, which greatly improves citizens' freedom of speech.

Network communication can easily cross national boundaries. For example, a defendant living in the United States may send libel information to the United Kingdom. If the defendant defends in a jurisdiction (Britain) where libel suits are beneficial to the plaintiff, then the defendant may have to restrain his speech in order to comply with the laws of the plaintiff's country that are more restrictive on speech. Theoretically, the plaintiff who has suffered online libel can bring a lawsuit against the defamator in a jurisdiction favorable to him (Britain) and a jurisdiction favorable to the defendant (such as the United States).
