Spreading Rumors About Other Steemit Users Could Land You In Legal Trouble

#steemitabuse

I have noticed a few people spreading rumors about other Steemit users on here. Usually it is either people talking crap about @ned @dan and other BitShares contributors, either calling it a Scam, or calling them Criminals. And I would just like to point out that spreading Rumors can land you a Defamation Lawsuit and you could end up owing them money.



All a person has to do in a defamation lawsuit is prove that the lies/rumors being spread are not true, and you owe them money. So if you are spreading a rumor that you heard from a "trusted source" but they did not provide evidence that their claim is true (ex: Evidence of an actual Scam perpetrated by @ned or @dan ) then you should probably stop spreading rumors and stop being a troll.
