Defamation, online harassment, and cyberbullying can be extremely harmful to both individuals and organisations. You should take any instance of online harassment seriously.
The internet has made it easy for anyone to make or become a victim of inflammatory statements posted on websites or social media platforms.
Should you or your organisation become a victim of defamation, it is essential to know your rights and the actions you can take from a legal standpoint.
But here’s the issue. When someone looks set to face the consequences of their actions online, they may quickly delete and destroy evidence. You may think a screenshot of the relevant posts or comments is enough to hold them accountable. And while that may be true for the court of public opinion, it may not hold up in a court of law. The reason is apparent; it’s easy to fake a screenshot.

If you would like to take legal action against defamation, cyberbullying or online harassment, you must preserve the website.
Rivica’s evidence capturing service ensures just that.
We can preserve full websites, single pages or social media posts and pages.
Not only does this help you capture evidence of online harassment, it can also assist you in taking action over instances of copyright breaches and IP theft.
