- bonniemuffin 9y agoSlander is oral speech; libel is the one you're looking for. My understanding is that a statement has to be false in order to be libel, but I wouldn't advise the poster to take legal advice from a rando on HN like me.
- deathanatos 9y agoWhich I always use [this scene][1] from Spider-Man to remember: Peter Parker: Spider-Man wasn't trying to attack the city, he was trying to save it. That's slander. J. Jonah Jameson: It is not! I resent that! Slander is spoken. In print, it's libel. [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcM1kTZm-nM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcM1kTZm-nM
- nisse72 9y agoEtymology is your friend here: Libel has roots in the latin for "document". Think of "library".
