Defamation Response

A false, damaging statement is infuriating — but the wrong response (a public flame war, an overblown legal threat) often amplifies it or backfires. This helps you tell the difference between defamation and mere opinion or fair criticism, preserve the evidence, and pick a proportionate response — from a platform report to a retraction demand to, where truly warranted, legal action. It isn't legal advice.

What This Skill Produces

• An is-it-defamation read — a plain-English gut-check on whether it's likely an actionable false statement of fact vs. protected opinion, criticism, or true (if unflattering) statements
• Evidence preservation — screenshots with URLs, dates, reach, and any provable harm, captured before it's deleted
• A tiered response — from platform/review reporting and a calm public correction, to a private retraction/removal request, to a cease-and-desist, to legal action
• A "don't make it worse" caution — how not to amplify (the Streisand effect), inflame, or say something actionable yourself
• An escalation flag — when real reputational/financial harm warrants a defamation lawyer
