And you'll have to prove damages. Stuff like this is where the internet is amazing for data. And didn't you write yesterday claiming to be your last post? It's called lack of integrity and credibility.

Types of Defamation Lawsuits

There are actually two types of claims you could make in a defamation lawsuit. You could allege the defendant committed libel or committed slander. While the elements of both are similar, the key difference relates to how the false statement was made.
Libel

If a false statement is made in written form, it is considered libel. Both print and digital communication can be classified as libel, as can written statements and pictures.

Any false statements printed in books or newspapers, or made on websites, blogs or social media pages, could potentially give rise to a libel claim.
Slander

Slander refers to spoken defamation. If a false statement of fact is made orally rather than in written form, it is considered slander.

However, there has become some confusion over the distinction between written and oral statements due to advancing technology. Podcasts and text messages, for example, could potentially be seen as similar to phone calls and therefore false statements would be considered slander. However, some argue they are more like written material in which case the false statements would be considered libel.
