Some types of speech are not protected by first amendment. Defamation is on example of this type of speech. Which of the following is the written form of defamation

1 answer

The written form of defamation is called "libel." Libel involves making false statements in writing that harm someone’s reputation. In contrast, "slander" refers to defamatory statements that are spoken rather than written. Both forms of defamation are not protected by the First Amendment if they meet the legal criteria for being false and damaging to the individual's reputation.
