Anti slander and Libel group

Defamations or “slander and libel” issues become more and more common in SL. Avatars import RL concepts into SL which include work, money, time and innovation. The boundaries between SL and RL start to vanish and thus new theories need to be developed how the law may apply to and resolve disputes in this cyber world. Defamation are a good example for such disputes as they became important lately and apparently continue to grow.

SL is based in California, USA and basically covered by the law of this state. However, as soon as SL and RL start to mix up a complexity is added as different country jurisdictions need to be considered which may vary significantly from each country to another.

However, it is important to realize that each defamation campaign creates victims. This is why we created a anti slander and libel group in SL in order to establish a knowledge database on defamation and provide first help to avatars which got victims of such attacks.

This involves:
Law advice - the more information we collect the better is the advice
Investigation - done by RL specialists understanding the problematic
Moral support – slander and libel attacks are very unethical strategies
Strategy development – help the victim to define a strategy
Anti slander support – be intermediary and initiate media support


The group can be found in SL under "anti slander and libel group"

Membership is free. Join or IM me if your are interested.

it is a small start but we hope can devleop some momentum, unfortunately I have to add, as a cyber world without defamations would definitively be more fun... also not very likely

and so there are two possibilities. Either there is nobody who is interested in this defamation subject which would mean that there is still some hope that SL is a "perfect" world or there is interest and then at least a discussion could start which may guide to some solution...I'm kidding of course
