libel defamation
Libel of website
<p>Is it possible to libel a website such as <em>Craigslist</em> or <em>Facebook</em> in a work of fiction? For example, if one were to write about a fictional character who had an interaction with another character, and it depicted the website in an unflattering light, would that be actionable? Or is it necessary in a work of fiction to make <em>all</em> names anonymous?</p>

<h2>Yes</h2>
