Defamation by competitors

Have you recently suffered defamation by competitors?

Online defamation by competitors is not unheard of. Below is one classic example of defamation by competitors of a small family business.

Jeff Clark, a husband and a father of three children ages 3, 6, and 10, has always loved cars. He has been fixing them since he was 12, and has worked in local garages around the Manchester area for many years.
Posting Defamation Online - Legal Consequences

Recently, Yair Cohen, Social Media Lawyer was on BBC Radio Devon with Janet Kipling and they were discussing the implications of posting defamation on the internet and how the law is catching up. Yair: “There can be serious consequences for people that post untrue statements about people online: Hefty legal costs, damages and prison.”

It used to be the perception that the internet was a completely different society than the offline society and that you could say what you wanted and not have any law stop you. The offline society was heavily policed with laws, courts and prison and the online society had nothing.

Now the problem with the internet of course, is that the comments stay online and because they stay online, they are starting to become harassing to someone. As if somebody is standing outside your house, day and night, and every time you walk out of

How to post a review which is not illegal

What can I say in an online review without risking a claim for defamation?

Some authors of online reviews about businesses are not aware that in England, when it comes to defamation, the reviewer is liable not just for the word he or she used, but also to innuendo. Innuendo is a hint, or a meaning that once may attribute to the words themselves. It follows, that in defamation cases in England, a reviewer is unlikely to escape liability just because the express words used were not strictly speaking defamatory. What is also important is what readers of the online review understand from reading the review. People’s understanding of a matte often goes beyond the simple words used. Readers of online reviews have learned to read between the lines.
The case of Selvaratnam Suresh v Commissioner of the Police of the Metropolis

Defamation Claim Against The Police

The Claimant was the Chairman of the Oriental Fine Arts Academy of London (“OFAAL”), a registered charity. He was a well-regarded community worker and a leader within the Tamil community in England and across Europe. Allegations were made to the police against the Claimant, that he committed fraud. Part of the alleged fraud was that he unlawfully altered an official charity document. Those were false allegations for which the Claimant successfully sued his accusers for defamation.

The Detective Sergeant, who investigated the allegations on behalf of the Metropolitan police wrote an email to the accusers where he said the Claimant abused his position as

How to Remove False and Defamatory Reviews

Questions about defamatory online reviews

Many people genuinely believe and even insist that review websites are there to enhance consumer’s ability to make the right choice or to educate them in choosing; a reputable supplier, a builder, an estate agent or even a holiday provider - and they are dead wrong. The truth is that the vast majority of those who operate review websites have clever systems that are aimed at benefitting them financially by encouraging visitors to their website to write negative reviews. This is often achieved by attacking and consequently destroying the reputation of good, honest and well established businesses across the UK.

The opportunity - a right to be forgotten

Adverse results from search engines can often have severe consequences, sometimes affecting you as an individual, sometimes affecting your family and at other times affecting your business. This will seem particularly unfair where the information presented by the search engine against your name or the name of your business is untrue, deceptive or very old.
SEO and a right to be forgotten

Many "webpage removal specialists" offer to remove bad pages from the search results by using search engine optimisation (SEO).

It is a series of techniques that companies use to try and make their websites appear on the first pages of internet search results.

It is largely a promotional tool which, if used knowledgeably, can bring almost any business tons of success. SEO is a good medicine to cure marketing problems. But when it comes to a bad and rapidly spreading case of infectious defamation, SEO might be less effective.

Remember that SEO is a preventative tool. It does not "remove" or "delete" bad search results but only temporarily pushes them down the search results.

Fake online reviews about restaurants legal advice.

This is business sabotage in the digital age. It is far more common than you might imagine and new enterprises are particularly vulnerable as they are at their weakest. The ‎culprits will normally be more established operators in their ‎sector/field who are seeking to ‘smother them in the cradle’ or ‎perhaps stifle their growth when they begin to feel the ‎effects of the competition on their own business.

It might also be from established entities who are retaliating ‎to what the incorrectly perceive to be similar behaviour on ‎the part of others. ‎ Restaurants are especially vulnerable to fake reviews. A recent study from Harvard University entitled, "fake it 'till you make it" shows that independent restaurants are much more likely to post fake reviews about their competitors than any other sector. Equally, they are quite fond of making up good ones about themselves.

Defamation with SEO

How SEO is used to spread defamation

Everyone has a soft spot. Being called a certain bad name in public could cause you a lot of damage and harm your career.

For example, a doctor might be described as "negligent", a solicitor as "incompetent", a builder as a "cowboy", or a teacher as "stupid". Such labels would be regarded by any of these people as a personal attack on their reputation and integrity.

But perhaps the most harmful insult of all was suffered by a top civil servant who was a social worker for the Children’s Service at a district council in the north of the country.

Fake online reviews

It is estimated by researchers that between 16 to 20 per cent of social media reviews are fake. We believe however that the real number is much higher.

We believe that between 50 to 65 per cent of all online reviews are fake.

A research by Harvard Business School entitled“Fake It Till You Make It: Reputation, Competition, and Yelp Review Fraud 24 September 2013” points to an emerging industry of fake review creation, which is primarily being driven by business owners who either leave positive reviews for themselves, negative reviews for their competitors or a combination of both.

Defamation on review Websites – An Overview

Review websites are either Industry Specific or Multi Area. They create an image of a service for the public good whilst in fact, they are commercial enterprises, they are not altruistic. Their commodity is YOUR reputation, and it's free of charge. Review websites often claim to have a right to publish without responsibility for content. This claim is false; in many cases operators of review websites are also the publishers and often the editors of the posts and are therefore liable to you for defamation.
Why you should you care about online reviews

When was the last time you searched online for information about ‎your own company? If the answer to this question is ‎‎“never” then you are not alone. But you also need to read on…‎

Many organisations spend little or no time in researching ‎themselves on the internet. This makes sense on the face of ‎it; what could you possibly learn that you don’t already ‎know? ‎But it is precisely this subconscious dismissal of the notion ‎that you could find something out that you don’t already ‎know that enables negative ‘information’ from going ‎undetected for so long and causing so much damage.
Online Defamation on YouTube

Online reputation attacks can be significantly more powerful when videos are used to attack someone’s reputation. Google, which owns YouTube, appears to be pushing hard to include video posts in its search results. If there is an available video match to a specific search term, it is likely that this video will score highly in the search terms and make its way to the top page of the search results.

Google aims to offer those who use its search engine a variety of information types, including regular web pages, blogs, social networks, videos, and images.
