    First demand, then sue. Can’t get the suit to court if you can’t show that you tried asking first.

      Also, even if you’re suing - litigation can take months/years. But the damage is done instantly. I don’t think there’s an easy solution here.

        There’s a quote for everything, almost like we’ve been through exactly this before…

        “A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.”

        Easy solution is for People to stop being such utter idiots. So, you are correct, never happening.

      You can, the main difference is that if they refuse you can prove stuff like intent to demand higher damages

      That’s not true. You don’t have to ask someone to stop committing defamation before suing them for defamation.
