@syncnewshq: Fake News or Felony? When "Negativity" Becomes a Crime. In today’s rapid-fire digital landscape, a professional logo doesn't guarantee a credible source.

When "Negativity" Becomes a Crime Postings cross into Cyber Libel if they meet three specific criteria: Imputation of a Discreditable Act: Falsely accusing a person or brand of a crime or defect. Malice: Showing a "reckless disregard for the truth" with the intent to destroy a reputation. Publication: Making the content public where the victim is clearly identifiable. #philippines #fyp #syncnewshq
