Cyber Crimefighter

Businesses and adults are also targets of cyberbullying and cyberlibel.

 

When there is a knowing and willful malicious act to discredit another person or business' reputation through a website or web post -- that is an act of cyberbullying. It is also defamation of character and an act of cyberlibel.

 

Cyberbullying and cyberlibel is a violation of both Canadian and American criminal codes. Cybercrimes are new to our police forces -- some don't even know what it is yet. But while few departments have the manpower and knowledge in pursuing such a case, it is important to document everything and even file a police report to use the case number, in case you need to file a libel suit down the road.
