Maintaining Your Online Reputation

As both a victim and now a survivor of Online Attacks, Internet Defamation, Cyberstalkers from extremely disturbed people (in my opinion) I have fought back and won! In an unprecedented jury verdict for damages, I was awarded $11.3M for what one woman did to me online. The jury took time to read the hundreds of posts of clear defamation and slander in an attempt to destroy me, my organization and hurt my family.

In many interviews I have been asked ”why” do people find the need to hurt others? I simply don’t have that answer. We can speculate, but I believe deep down people are not happy with themselves and feel the need to project their misery on to others.

John Dozier of Dozier Internet Law wrote an excellent article the outlines potential persona’s of these type of people. “The Top Ten Blogger Persona’s: The Mobosphere Unvieled.” Then Jacqui Cheng wrote about the Nutjobs that feel the need to hurt others online. It is obvious this is a growing problem.

New web identity coming up

Wednesday, 2 January 2008

Regret that stupid picture of yourself on Facebook?
Worried that a potential employer might find incriminating things about you on the web?

Maybe you need to employ an “identity manager” who will happily wander around the web and erase inaccurate, inappropriate or slanderous information about you.

Already in the US, companies such as Reputation Defender spends its time searching and destroying hurtful and inaccurate information that exists on its clients.

But futurists who predict that the fashion of online exhibitionism will die, when young people looking for jobs realise how damaging it can be, should think again.

What we are likely to see is a new breed of PR advisers who will spend their time creating the internet profiles of business people.

In fact by 2011 technology advice firm Gartner predicts that most people will have digital replicas of themselves for online work and play.

Now just imagine what an identity manager could do with a digital replica – it could take spin to a whole new level.

Sue Scheff: Rising Above Internet Defamation

Fighting against Internet Defamation can be an uphill battle - but there is finally light coming through. I meet with a Florida Senator for our second meeting today and a very prominent lawyer joined us.

Free Speech will always be in place, but it will not allow defamation or reckless regard for the truth.

I will continue to be a voice in this arena and hopefully you will see some major changes and new legal avenues and ACTION soon.

Sue Scheff Continuing to be a Voice for People being Abused on the Internet

It is time to rise above Internet Defamation and fight back!

I have recently meet with a Florida Senator as well as a prominent attorney regarding Internet Defamation and the fact there are limits to free speech when slander is involved. It is not about removing your first amendment right, it is about not being liable. Defaming a person can lead to legal consequences.

Speaking out has caused my critics to further slander me, but it will never silence me. With more and more lawsuits being filed and more and more laws firms accepting these cases on contingency, more people that believe they can defame others will be held accountable.
