Tonight, on Off The Hook we discuss the Invasion of Privacy on Social Media aka “The Dark Side of Social Media

Publishing defamatory material can be far-reaching and could result in a costly civil suit or end up in the criminal court.

Rose will take us through Crimen Injuria and Defamation
– Defamation is the unlawful intentional publication of a matter concerning another which has the tendency to undermine his or her status, good name or reputation.
– Crimen injuria is a crime defined as the act of unlawfully and intentionally impairing the dignity or privacy of another.
