Časté otázky k tejto právnej oblasti
Media law is a legal area that regulates relations between the media and the public, in particular liability for published information, protection of personality, freedom of expression, and the right of reply or correction.
This includes, for example, spreading false or defamatory claims, publishing sensitive information without consent, unauthorized use of photographs, and slander on social networks or in the media.
You have the right to request correction, apology, removal of content and, in some cases, compensation for non-pecuniary damage. We recommend that you act quickly and contact us.
Yes. Legal protection also applies to online spaces, including social networks, blogs, forums and online media. We can contact platform operators or take legal action.
In certain cases, yes, if the content is false, outdated, defamatory or illegally published. The so-called "right to be forgotten" under the GDPR can also be exercised.
Comments can also be illegal if they infringe on your dignity, personal rights, or spread false claims. The operator is obliged to respond to the complaint and remove the content.
Ideally immediately, especially if the content is fresh or going viral. We can take quick preliminary steps (challenges, warnings, proposals for temporary measures).
If redress cannot be achieved out of court or if there is a serious infringement of rights (e.g. systematic damage to reputation), we recommend filing a lawsuit for the protection of personality.
Yes. Legal entities are entitled to reputation protection just like individuals, e.g. in the event of brand damage, fake reviews or media attacks.
We provide legal advice to editorial teams, publishers and journalists in content creation, complaint resolution, source protection or litigation.
Has your name or privacy been harmed?
We will assess the content and your options and propose the steps, from a demand letter to litigation.
