Social media can be a fun place to chat to friends and family, and in fact, that was pretty much the way it started out. However, there are also a lot of insults and criticisms that are traded between many different people. This can include, believe it or not, death threats.
OK, that may be a matter for the police to take an interest, but there are many, many instances of people rubbishing other people, or other people’s businesses, for one reason or another.
Sometimes you can just ignore it and hope that it will go away. Or you could close your social media account. But if someone starts trashing your business, that can be a different matter. It could affect your livelihood, and if this is the case you may need to begin legal action. You might have a disgruntled employee, an ex, or similar, who begins to spread lies about you just because they can.
You Will Need an Expert Witness in Social Media
However, if this sort of thing happens to you, you are going to need a social media expert witness because things can get very complicated indeed.
For instance, maybe you fired an employee who now wants to get his or her own back on you. That employee may set up a false social media account (easy to do) for the sole purpose of trashing your reputation. So, you need a social media expert witness who can first of all find out what is going on and what can be done about it.
If it comes to litigation, you are going to have to be able to explain in a court of law what happened, who said what to whom, when, why, how, and so on. Or, of course, as a social media expert witness, I can do all of that part for you. I have experience of standing up in court and explaining to a judge and jury in simple terms what actually took place and who is responsible.
I can also help you with social media marketing. For instance, should you carry out marketing on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, and more? What is the best way to do this? Write a blog? Advertise on Facebook? Create videos and post them on YouTube? It could be any or all of these. What about Quora? TikTok?
There are plenty of different possibilities, but as an expert in social media, I can get you off in the right direction, as well as fight for your rights if it comes to litigation.
