Businesses these days earn a significant amount of their revenues by dealing online; through websites and social media platforms. The brandings, suggestions, recommendations, and reviews are all made through websites and social media platforms in the modern era. Facebook is the most significant source of advertising and branding. Facebook pages also show reviews and recommendations. Hence, the defamation on Facebook can cause a business significant reputational losses. Defamation, in simple words, is a false statement that can harm the reputation of the victim i.e., an individual or company. Whereas, Slander is an untrue, defamatory statement that is spoken orally.
According to brightlocal.com, 84% of users trust online reviews as much as they trust personal recommendations. This fact makes the filtration of Slander on Facebook and Slander on Twitter very important. Additionally, online communities like Yelp and other review sites allow users to share information about their experiences, allowing millions of online users to read these comments and recommendations. The fallback of this sharing of information is that often a user can share this information without going through any regulatory checks and oversights. There are no thoughts of filtering out the truth from these reviews. Hence making the average internet user draw recommendations from whatever is stated in these reviews. Online commentators are more likely to gain attention from the community when they blast or defame an individual or business.
The professed defamatory comments are always presented as facts and not as an opinion. Howbeit, an opinion can allegedly be considered as a factual statement if a person would have interpreted it as such. According to hawleytroxell.com, defamation on Facebook can make your business lose its revenues by more than 30%.

Terms and Conditions Violations
Commentator websites like Glassdoor and YELP, which provide users a room for their own generated content, perpetually have a set of community rules, guidelines, and policies. These “Terms and Conditions” are supposed to be followed by every user. If you see something negative or defamatory on such platforms, you can easily flag it or report it directly to the website authorities for further action. If the moderator of the website believes that there is some violation of “Terms and Conditions,” they are bound to take the defined action immediately. At Reputationamerica.com, we work directly with attorneys who specialize in such cases. Our attorneys are experienced in getting negative reviews/postings removed through proper channels and by using Terms and conditions and community Guideline violations. If needed, they further escalate the violations to upper management and counsels of the website. Our information removal specialists are proficient in dealing with editors of US web portals.
Stipulated Judgment
Sometimes, settling for a stipulated judgment is the best option to resolve the issue of defamation on Facebook or Slander on Twitter. A stipulated judgment is an agreement between parties to a lawsuit that spells out the terms of their settlement. It becomes a court order once signed by a judge, which makes it easier to enforce than an out-of-court agreement (legalbeagle.com). Oftentimes, some websites have the policies that once content is up on their website, and it never goes back down even if the content creator wants to revise or remove the defamatory/false content. Getting a stipulated judgment is one of the quickest ways to get defamatory content de-indexed from search engines.
Mediation Strategies
Mediation strategies can resolve Slander on Twitter and Facebook. Oftentimes, the original reviewer /complainer can redact or remove the review himself, or the individual/organization can approach the original poster in some way. Our mediation experts help our client get to a resolution with the false content poster. Most of the time, reaching and talking to the poster of defamatory content can help settle things up.
Negotiations
Another way of removal of such content is through negotiations. These negotiations should only be done through an expert and specialized attorney that have specializations in internet law. Our experts are conscious of the mindset of the posters. They analyze the psychological aspects of the defamer and then devise a negotiating plan. As stated by blog search engine Technorati, 94% of bloggers are likely to moderate, pull-back, or delete incorrect information on contacting them. Our attorneys help you in getting off the defamatory content by explaining to the author of the defamatory material that they have made a mistake in their statement. Our expert negotiates with the author and provides them with the correct information and explains to the author the fact that, if they continue to publish, this information can hurt your reputation. Our attorneys have successfully helped clients in getting damaging content removed through negotiations.
Condoning Strategies
We do not just remove information – we solve the problem. Often, the solution to the problem is not the removal of content. In some cases, our negotiation expert concludes that the website or individual can no more access to the malicious or defamatory content for deletion. In such cases, our experts help our clients by de-indexing the content as well as affixing the tag of “Refutation” or “The article is outdated” on the website.

15.02.2019I respect constructive criticism but when competitors write outright negative reviews, we can do nothing but remove slander from internet. Unfortunately, it's not always possible.

15.02.2019In fact, the solution is logical. Moreover, it's right. But it happens so that some unfair organizations drive up a high rating. If it were just shops. But different medical or juridical organisations abuse it.

Mr Smith
15.02.2019As far as I know, the owner of the facebook page can remove the reviews. But it's not an option because bad reviews can keep on appearing.
Hanna
16.02.2019But it's really easier to deal with facebook admins. If it doesn't work, you can reply to an author of a review and ask if he or she really thinks so or somebody told him to write this review. The main thing is that it wouldn't be about the quality of your product or service

We have some firms-competitors who tried (and is still trying) to spoil our reputation. We struggled for leadership in the market, several years of painful struggle. There were periods when we didn't have clients at all. But we coped with it, applied to a digital agency that deal with restoring of reputation.

18.02.2019If you explain your clients why give feedback, there will be more people who are eager to leave a positive review. There're especially many clients in social networks who want to give feedback for some encouragement - a discount for example or a gift when purchasing next time

8.03.2019Ohh, people complain so often about cyberbullying and lunatics who write some nonsense to them. I always say to them that it's their fault. Why post any personal data to public access, then look for the ways to remove bad comments and apply to such companies?
