Existing law does not proscribe recklessly sharing damaging false information about people?
- toomuchtodo 7y agoIt does not.
- brlewis 7y agoAccording to Wikipedia, it does in the US: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defamation#United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defamation#United_States Also of note, "Malice would also exist if the acts were done with reckless indifference or deliberate blindness" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malice_(law) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malice_(law)
- toomuchtodo 7y agoI have tried to pursue legal action against companies maintaining inaccurate information using defamation as grounds, to no avail. Maybe you’ll have better luck.
