Why do internet and social media user condemn the libel provisions of the cybercrime law?

[Jody]

Maybe they don't understand that libel applies to oral or verbal publication over radio, audio or video because it is considered publication in a transfixed form under the laws of defamation.

Or maybe they don't understand that in libel cases, the plaintiff needs to prove that the statement was false, which is difficult to prove if evidence disappears, and he also needs to prove that the statement was published by the defendant

The elements of a defamation suit whether slander or libel are:

1. A defamatory statement;
2. Published to a third party;
3. Which the speaker knew or should have known was false;
4. That causes injury to the subject of the communication

Defamation is a common law tort, suits are governed by state law and in cases of the internet can be taken over by federal authorities.
