Question: Can legal action be taken for defamation if a video that potentially defames someone is posted on TikTok but then taken down after a day and a half? What are the implications if the video is redistributed by others?

Answer: In a case where a video was posted on TikTok potentially defaming someone but was taken down after a day and a half, since the video was already removed, a major part of the potential legal action (having the content removed) was already addressed. Additionally, for a defamation claim to be successful, there must be proof of damages, such as monetary loss or job loss directly linked to the video.
