This has to stop. The belief that people can say any old shite on social media and get away with it. If one does begin to type or speak from an emotional perspective they need to know from now on that the courts will force them to retract, apologise and compensate. It should be a lesson to everyone. STICK TO THE FACTS AND THE CONTEXT. OR ELSE.
‘On 13 December 2020 I made defamatory statements about @AyoCaesar, which I sincerely regret and retract and have undertaken not to repeat. I have agreed to pay substantial damages to Ash Sarkar and her legal costs. Here is my full and wholehearted apology. Please retweet.’
As the above makes clear it is not only the original false statement that is the issue. Those who follow on behind with vile, disgusting comments that exacerbate the issue are as much of the problem.
Social media organisations need to make it much easier to report and remove false comments… about other people and those who do not learn the lesson should find themselves being removed from social media permanently and if necessary facing legal action.
The only way to stop people lying or spreading falsehoods about others is to make them understand that society… will not accept it.
