Question 25 • Business Law

Libel is a defamatory or hurtful remark told about someone to others, and slander is when this remark or comment is broadcast over the TV, radio, printed in a publication, or forwarded to others on the Internet.

Answer
A
True
B
False

Explanation

The statement reverses the usual distinction. Libel is defamation in a written or otherwise published form, while slander is generally spoken defamation. So the claim that slander is what is printed or posted online is incorrect; the correct choice is False.
