Dozier Internet Law has learned of an award for $35,000 in the UK against an individual who posted a false profile on Facebook about the plaintiff. The posting was reportedly in retaliation for past business disagreements and the profile included accurate information to lend it credibility, and also set forth libelous, inaccurate, misleading, and damaging information. In reviewing the award, Dozier Internet Law notes that the award was based upon defamation and privacy violations, and given the expansive view of personal jurisdiction in the UK in defamation cases, it is important to note that someone posting defamatory statements in the US could be subject to defending a lawsuit in the UK.
