I want to file a complaint about malicious comments.

Malicious comments, i.e., bad comments, can be subject to criminal punishment and damages claims beyond simple emotional expression.

In particular, repeated and false defamation, and the spread of false information, can be punished even more severely.

To determine whether a malicious comment complaint is possible, we need to look at the content and repetition of the malicious comments related to you in detail. Generally, malicious comment complaints are possible under cyber defamation, insult, etc.

Defamation by stating facts is punishable by up to 3 years of imprisonment or a fine of up to 30 million won, and false facts are punishable by up to 7 years of imprisonment, suspension of qualifications for up to 10 years, or a fine of up to 50 million won.

On the other hand, insult is punishable by up to 1 year of imprisonment or detention, or a fine of up to 2 million won.

To file a malicious comment complaint, you need to collect objective evidence.

First, it is important to preserve the contents of malicious comments or defamation posts by capturing the entire screen.

Even if comments are deleted or posts are made private, you should save them so that the original information such as the writing time, writer's nickname, and URL can be confirmed for use as evidence.

In particular, if malicious comments are repeatedly written, their continuity and malice can be recognized, which can work favorably in criminal punishment and damages claims.

In addition, if mental suffering or social defamation occurred due to malicious comments, the damage can be proven through hospital diagnoses, counseling records, and statements from people around you.

In conclusion, malicious comments containing repeated or false facts are not something to take lightly, and I would like to respond that it is wise to respond quickly with the help of an expert.
