PROTECTION OF PUBLIC PERSONS ON THE INTERNET

Publicity opens up many opportunities for a person. It is well converted into social capital when you need to cooperate with someone, build relationships in the context of general social activity and many other issues. However, public life, in addition to advantages, has a number of pitfalls, because bright and successful people are often watched by haters with bad intentions and envy.

Who wants to get their own PR at the expense of someone else's name or, as people say, to catch a hype. Someone uses unfair competition methods and posts false reviews about a person's business. And who is trying to drag her into reputational scandals of a different sort. In a word, there can be many threats. Therefore, you should always keep ready-made contacts of a lawyer specializing in the protection of public figures on the Internet.

Who needs the protection of such a lawyer

Of course, anyone who finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time can get into the epicenter of the scandal. However, there are some categories of people who face this risk more often than others. These include:

• Show business representatives. Sometimes such people believe that it is impossible to protect themselves from ill-wishers and their dirty tricks in the information space, and such a situation is a tribute to publicity. However, in reality this is not the case. There are some public people who managed to prove their truth in court, after which the offenders were forced to pay moral damages and refute false information. When a person defends his rights and interests in this way, on the contrary, it strengthens his reputation. Potential offenders are well aware that slander can cost them dearly in the context of non-pecuniary damages. Therefore, in most cases, knowing about the integrity of a person, they do not risk affecting him. This is how one won court case on the protection of honor, dignity and business reputation can work for you for years.
• Civil servants, representatives of law enforcement agencies. In some cases, journalistic investigations of such people are objective, but this is far from always the case. Sometimes it happens that a person becomes the hero of fictional sensations only because, by virtue of his profession, he often interacts with the public. Therefore, no one can insure against the slander of ill-wishers, but everyone has the opportunity to enlist the support of a professional lawyer in order, if necessary, to defend his good name in court.
• Entrepreneurs. In business, such a phenomenon as unfair competition often works. This statement is especially true when it comes to highly competitive niches. Therefore, the creation of custom materials, where the reputation of the company or the biography of its owner is questioned, is not something rare. It can also be a pseudo-investigation of the quality of the product or writing false reviews on the network, where we are talking about supposedly poor quality. To ensure that your case does not suffer from the actions of such people, legal assistance will be appropriate.

All the common, but not all, situations where it becomes necessary to defend the honor, dignity and business reputation of a person or company have been cited above.
