Privacy – It’s Not Just a Setting on Social Media!
Your reputation and privacy are important to you, and to the Levine Law Group.
In this modern era, where social media is omnipresent and reports of hacking come out every other day, being proactive about your reputation, both online and in the real world, is a good thing. Technology has made it much easier to be both the victim of defamation and invasion of privacy, as well as (sometimes unwittingly) the perpetrator.
Defamation is the publishing (making public) information or statements that damage an individual or company’s reputation. It can happen in conversation (as slander) or in print (as libel). The old adage that you can never take back the words you say has never rung more true than today. From social media, to emails, to conversations with your friends, you can find yourself the subject of slander and libel which can easily be shared with the people you know, as well as the world you do not! Your reputation is important, so let Levine Law Group help you protect it!
In 1890, future Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis co-authored an article entitled “The Right to Privacy” in the Harvard Law Journal. It was the first time that a right to be left along had been articulated in the halls of American law. Today, that right is enshrined in a myriad of legal cases and laws. But in the age of omnipresent technology, where almost every moment of our day is recorded or memorialized in some way, your privacy can be easily invaded. Your privacy can be invaded by the simple act of posting your secrets or by making statements that put you in a false light. But do not despair; help is here! We here at Levine Law Group can help you assert your rights and protect your privacy.
All human beings have three lives: public, private, and secret. – Gabriel Garcia Marquez
