Question: How can I legally address the issue of being harassed online, including defamation and misuse of my personal information, when I do not have the physical addresses of the harassers to send a cease and desist letter?
Answer: In a case of online harassment and defamation where the victim's personal information and reputation were being misused on social media platforms, you may consider potentially send out a cease and desist letter if the names and addresses of the harassers could be obtained. However, without specific addresses or email addresses, sending a cease and desist letter is unlikely to be effective. If you'd like to speak with an attorney about your situation, or for help drafting a cease and desist letter, contact Cape Law to see if services are offered in your jurisdiction.
