Daeryun Law Firm needs assistance from a criminal lawyer specializing in cyber defamation

Recently, ‘cyber defamation’ has become a hot topic along with the unfortunate news of celebrities due to malicious comments online. Cyber ​​defamation is not just a problem for celebrities.

If you look at the ‘number of cyber defamation and insults’ released by the National Police Agency in October, you can see that there has been a significant increase from 8,880 cases in 2014 to 15,926 cases last year. The Republic of Korea is suffering from online cyber defamation and insults.

Offline is no exception. There are cases where photos taken without one's knowledge are given names such as ‘00 Chung’, ‘00 Male’, or ‘00 Female’ online, causing embarrassment. In these cases, personal information such as age, occupation, and upbringing is leaked through so-called ‘doxxing,’ resulting in secondary damage such as making daily life difficult.

This is the case described by a Busan criminal lawyer from Daeryun Law Firm. #There was an incident in which the defendant, who was dissatisfied with the class of client A, who was an instructor, expressed his dissatisfaction through a comment on social media. Mr. A tried to clear up the misunderstanding, but the defendant ignored this and even sent defamatory messages to Mr. A's personal social media acquaintances, ridiculing client A. Mr. A suffered from insomnia and depression due to stress due to this incident, and as rumors spread rapidly, lectures were canceled regardless of the facts, resulting in secondary damages.

At the time, the criminal lawyer in charge weighed the case and submitted a complaint to the court for ‘a case of defamation and obstruction of business by false information.’ He explained that as a result of responding based on the facts of the damage, including collecting evidence with effectiveness and countermeasures, the court sentenced the defendant to a fine of 5 million won.

In this way, cyber defamation or insults have the characteristic that the damage is large and recovery is difficult because the speed of spread is rapid and an unspecified number of people encounter it. Accordingly, experts emphasized, "Waiting quietly for the situation to pass will only worsen the situation. It is important to respond quickly and reliably at an early stage to reduce damage." He also advised, “If you unintentionally become a perpetrator due to a momentary mistake, get help from a criminal lawyer with extensive experience in such cases.”

Meanwhile, Daeryun Law Firm, which is considered a large law firm in Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Incheon, Gwangju, Daejeon, Ulsan, Suwon, Changwon, Cheongju, Jeonju, Uijeongbu, Chuncheon, Jinju, and Jeju, opened its Seoul office on the 25th. In particular, legal consultations are provided by specialized lawyers in each field, such as criminal lawyers, civil lawyers, domestic affairs lawyers, and divorce lawyers.

More details can be found on the official website.
