"Defamatory statements posted online can ruin a reputation within hours."

The Problem
The internet represents one of the biggest revolutions of the century and has made available an unlimited amount of information to the World. However, it is not all positive as information travels fast on the internet meaning that a negative comment about a person or corporate brand can potentially be in the living room or on the mobile phone screen of a significant number of people within seconds. A defamatory statement can then be posted on to a social media site (such as twitter or facebook) and, before you know it, thousands of people are retweeting and liking the statement.
It has always been important for celeberities, high net worth individuals and brands to protect their reputations and to deal with defamatory statements made about them swiftly. Given the speed and reach of the internet, time really is of the essence in locating and removing such statements.
