Defamation
Defamation is the communication of a false statement about another that injures their reputation and usually constitutes a tort. Additionally, in some jurisdictions, defamation is also treated as a crime.Defamation laws can encompass a variety of acts: Insult against a legal person (e.g. natural person, business entity) in general. Defamation (slander/libel) against a legal person (e.g. natural person, business entity) in general. Acts against public officials. Acts against state institutions (e.g. government, ministries, government agencies, armed forces). Acts against state symbols (national and/or foreign). Acts against the state itself (national and/or foreign). Acts against heads of state (national and/or foreign). Acts against religions (blasphemy). Acts against the judiciary or legislature (e.g. contempt of court). The right of individuals to the protection of their reputation, honour, and privacy comes into tension with freedom of speech, with different jurisdictions balancing the two rights differently depending on the extent to which each of the two rights is valued by the local culture and legal tradition. Jurisdictions resolve the tension between these two rights in a variety of ways including by determining whether the plaintiff must prove defamatory intent or whether intent is presumed unless the defendant proves otherwise, delimiting the extent to which the truth of a defamatory statement serves as a valid legal defence, and by deciding the scope of exceptions for commentary on issues of public importance. Strict or plaintiff-friendly defamation laws may serve to deter on publishers fearful of lawsuits from publishing potentially defamatory statements, which proponents of defamation law see as dissuading individuals from violating others' rights to privacy and protection of reputation and advocates of free speech see as having a chilling effect on the exercise of freedom of speech. The power of the internet to disseminate comments, which may include malicious content, has served to stir renewed debate over the first few decades of the twenty first century as to the efficacy, desirability, and extraterritorial application of defamation law.
