Dealing with online defamation and libel
Running social networks and forums with close to 200,000 members has one disadvantage, once in a while some crazy person decides to stalk you.
I have run across two such incidents in my life. These people went online and posted a bunch of crap about me.
I am working with the legal authorities to get it removed. Most of the defamation is posted anonymously and due to “Safe harbor” and “Freedom of speech” issues the content may not be removed.
If you do find such content remember the three principles in deciding to believe or not:
1. I have 2 BBB complaints in the last 7 years of running ourcommunitypower.com. Click here to know more about BBB. To know the reasons for these two BBB complaints please read my next blog post.
2. There are over 1200 testimonials and more come every day.
3. Whenever some allegations were made I have engaged the person in a conversation. Please read the whole thread to come to your conclusions.
And finally feel free to send me an email at kedia.vikas@gmail.com to clear your doubts if you have any.
