Defamation Response

🔵 Stable🕐 updated 2026-08-05 🔷 SkillSpec L3 pm-legal

Respond to false, damaging statements about you or your business — decide what actually counts as defamation, preserve evidence, and choose the right response from correction to takedown to legal action. Use when asked someone posted lies about me, respond to a false review/statement, is this defamation, or protect my reputation online. Produces a read on whether it likely crosses from opinion into actionable falsehood, evidence-preservation steps, a tiered response (platform report, correction/retraction request, cease-and-desist, legal), and a caution against reactions that make it worse. Not legal advice.

🗣 Say this to your agent

“Someone posted lies about my business — what can I do?”“Is this false review actually defamation?”“How do I get a defamatory post taken down?”“Someone's spreading false statements about me online.”“Should I sue for defamation or is there a better first step?”

What to give it

The statement — what was said, where, and by whom (if known)
True or false — is it a false statement of fact, an opinion, or partly true
The harm — reach, and any real damage (lost business, etc.)
Your goal — removal, correction/retraction, apology, or deterrence
Region — defamation law varies significantly by jurisdiction

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

Realistically classifies fact vs opinion/criticism/truth
Preserves evidence before anything else
Offers a proportionate, tiered response (report → correct → demand → legal)
Warns against amplifying (Streisand) and self-defamation
Flags when genuine harm warrants a lawyer
States it isn't legal advice / laws vary

⚠️ What it refuses to do

**Calling everything defamation** — including fair opinion or true statements.
**Not preserving evidence** before deletion.
**Jumping to legal threats** for something minor.
**A public pile-on** that amplifies the claim.
**Responding with something itself defamatory.**
