Disrupting Tranquility and Payment Consequences: Potential Outcomes for Internet Trolls
In the digital age, internet trolls have become a persistent problem for many individuals and businesses. But can victims seek damages or compensation for the harm caused by these online bullies? According to Cologne lawyer Philipp Kühn and social media expert Konstantin Peveling, the answer is yes, under certain conditions.
Kühn, a seasoned lawyer based in Cologne, explains that for victims to receive damages or compensation, they must provide detailed and credible evidence of business damage or mental stress. The person behind the troll must also be identified or known. Courts have discretion over granting such damages or compensation, which can lead to varying amounts.
Peveling, a social media expert at Bitkom, further elaborates on the potential for civil legal action against internet trolls. He notes that if a troll causes damage to reputation, business, or mental health, potential claims could include injunctions or damages.
However, the key question in dealing with internet trolls is identifying who is behind the troll account. If the search results do not provide information identifying the troll, it can be challenging to pursue legal action.
Victims of such attacks can, however, request the deletion of repeated posts and the blocking of problematic users from platform operators. This proactive step can help mitigate the immediate impact of troll attacks and provide some relief to the victims.
In conclusion, while the discretion of courts in granting damages or compensation can lead to varying amounts, victims of internet trolls seeking justice have options. By presenting detailed and credible evidence of business damage or mental stress, and by identifying the person behind the troll, victims can pursue legal action and seek redress for the harm caused.
