LIBELLOUS Statements / Social Media.2 May 2020 21:57
Ok... Someone may be able to provide additional legal resource and knowledge here, I’ve had a quick and brief conversation with a Barrister concerning defamation, Libellous statements on social media.
From what I have been informed, any statement made on any social media platform generally can and is of equal merit to traditional printed text formats. Therefore, if anyone’s sees anything that cannot be backed up with accurate, factual evidence that could / can cause detriment and defamation, call it out for what it is. The significance on social media generally is ‘weighted’ by follower quantity. I’ve brought this to the attention of Oilman, quite simply I’ve broight this to his attention as he has cast his ‘opinion’... given he has over 7000 followers he could be deemed an influencer by quantity and therefore liable for such an opinion without significant and factual material to back an opinion.
I’ve had enough of this absolute tripe, hence call to Barrister who deals with civil And Commerical PR.
Further comments appreciated here.
