We are pleased to announce the publication of our new practical guide on managing defamatory social media posts under Cyprus law.

As social media continues to play a central role in both personal and business communications, the risk of reputational harm arising from online content has increased significantly. False or misleading statements can spread rapidly, often with immediate and lasting consequences.

Our latest guide has been prepared to assist individuals and businesses in understanding:

• What constitutes defamation in the context of social media
• How Cyprus law approaches online reputational harm
• The practical steps to take when faced with defamatory content
• The legal remedies that may be available

The guide focuses on providing clear, practical direction, including how to act quickly to limit damage, preserve evidence, and assess whether legal action may be appropriate.

It also addresses key issues such as

• Identifying responsible parties, including anonymous users
• The role of platform operators
• The availability of injunctions and other urgent remedies
• Strategic considerations in cross-border situations

This publication forms part of our ongoing effort to provide accessible and practical legal insights on issues that increasingly affect our clients in a digital environment.
