WHAT IS INTERNET DEFAMATION?• Generally, defamation is a false and
unprivileged statement of fact that is harmful to someone's reputation, and published "with fault", meaning as a result of negligence or malice.
• State laws often define defamation in specific ways. Libel is a written defamation; slander is a spoken defamation.
