Defamation
Content that is potentially damaging to your reputation, or the reputation of your business or organization.
Please keep in mind that as an internet service provider we are not in a position to resolve content disputes, evaluate claims that material on a site is false or defamatory, or provide contact information about the site owner.
As a first step, we recommend attempting to contact the site owner by doing the following:
- Commenting on the specific post or page (if the site has comments enabled);
- Checking to see if there is contact information on the site;
- Attempting to contact the site owner through private who.is (available for some WordPress.com websites).
If you believe the content meets the U.S. legal standard for defamation, or you would like to formally request information about the site owner, you can learn more about pursuing the necessary legal process on our Legal Guidelines page.
