What should I do if someone is spreading false information about me online?

If someone is spreading false information about you online, don't panic or respond right away. Start by gathering evidence and find out whether it's a single post or a coordinated campaign, where multiple accounts work together to spread the same message.

 

Look for signs such as the same message appearing across different social media platforms, newly created accounts, or accounts that post dozens of times a day but get little or no engagement, which may suggest the accounts are automated.

Once you understand what you're dealing with, be proactive rather than reactive. When possible, communicate early instead of waiting for false narratives to spread. Responding early can help prevent the story from gaining momentum. You can then report the content to the relevant platforms, consider legal action if needed, or publish accurate information to help reduce the impact of the false claims.
