Unfortunately, many users, hiding behind their screens or utilizing anonymous accounts (trolls), operate under the false assumption that they are beyond the reach of the law. The reality is quite the opposite: the internet is not a lawless space.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have been a victim of an online attack, filing a\u00a0<strong>criminal complaint for online insult<\/strong>\u00a0and initiating legal proceedings for\u00a0<strong>defamation<\/strong>\u00a0on platforms like Facebook or Instagram are your primary legal remedies.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Insult vs. Defamation: Legal Definitions<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is common to confuse these terms, yet they carry distinct legal definitions under the Greek Penal Code:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong> Insult (Art. 361 PC)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li><strong>Definition:<\/strong>\u00a0&#8220;Anyone who, outside the cases of defamation (Art. 362 and 363), violates the honor of another by word, act, or any other means, shall be punished with imprisonment of up to one year or a monetary penalty.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Context:<\/strong>\u00a0This refers to the impairment of one&#8217;s honor and dignity through offensive remarks, abusive language, or gestures. Online, this manifests as harassing comments on posts, private messages, or offensive video content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong> Defamation (Art. 362 PC)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li><strong>Definition:<\/strong>\u00a0&#8220;Anyone who, in any manner, before a third party, asserts or disseminates a fact regarding another person that may damage their honor or reputation, shall be punished with imprisonment of up to two years or a monetary penalty.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Context:<\/strong>\u00a0The perpetrator communicates a fact to third parties that is potentially harmful to the victim&#8217;s reputation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong> Slanderous Defamation (Art. 363 PC)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li><strong>Definition:<\/strong>\u00a0&#8220;If, in the case of Article 362, the fact is false and the perpetrator knew that it was false, they shall be punished with imprisonment of at least three months&#8230; civil rights deprivation may also be imposed.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Context:<\/strong>\u00a0The perpetrator knowingly disseminates false facts, which can severely damage your personal or professional life. Defamation on Facebook (e.g., in a public group) is one of the most prevalent forms of this offense.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>The Myth of Anonymity on Social Media<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perpetrators often mistakenly believe that a &#8220;fake profile&#8221; grants them total anonymity. However, the\u00a0<strong>Cybercrime Unit<\/strong>, in coordination with the Public Prosecutor&#8217;s Office, has the legal authority to order the\u00a0<strong>lifting of privacy<\/strong>. By tracing IP addresses and metadata, the identification of individuals behind anonymous posts, comments, or reviews is entirely achievable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>4 Essential Steps to Take<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are being insulted or defamed online, it is critical to act methodically:<\/p>\n<ol style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li><strong>Do not delete the evidence:<\/strong>\u00a0The common impulse to delete the comment or block the user can result in the loss of vital evidence.\u00a0<strong>Do not remove anything.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Document the evidence:<\/strong>\u00a0Capture high-quality screenshots that clearly display:\n<ul>\n<li>The offensive text\/comment.<\/li>\n<li>The perpetrator\u2019s profile name\/ID.<\/li>\n<li>The date and time of the post.<\/li>\n<li>The specific URL of the page or post.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Consult with an Attorney:<\/strong>\u00a0A formal criminal complaint (<em>egklesi<\/em>) requires legal precision to be admissible. Your lawyer will draft the document detailing the facts and submit it to the competent Public Prosecutor\u2019s Office.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Adhere to Deadlines:<\/strong>\u00a0You have a strictly defined deadline of\u00a0<strong>three (3) months<\/strong>\u00a0from the day you became aware of the act and the identity of the perpetrator to file a criminal complaint.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Can You Claim Compensation?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Yes.<\/strong>\u00a0Beyond the criminal proceedings (which may result in imprisonment or criminal fines for the perpetrator), you are entitled to seek redress in\u00a0<strong>Civil Courts<\/strong>.
