TV Investigation
Television station WUSA tried to find out why Sharon had deleted her Facebook post. They tried to get an exclusive interview. However, they were unable to do so. They didn’t get much from her, but what they did uncover was that her post (that had been deleted) was the only online claim of this problem. It wasn’t the only claim of this happening, but it was the only one on the internet.

Apparently, there are no other cases like this that were published on the internet. There could be speculations and theories. However, unless they have solid proof that this is a widespread incident, Sharon can be in a sweaty situation here. Have you heard of a cyber libel?
Labeling A Libel
Unfortunately, the only piece of evidence presented was no longer to be found. With the only evidence of the whole ordeal deleted, Sharon could face great backlash. We are unsure Sharon is prepared and can afford a legal battle with this company. Walmart could potentially sue her in a libel suit – because this claim could potentially destroy Walmart’s name, even if the claims are true.
Labeling A Libel
What is a cyber libel? It is an act of spreading false information about another person, group, or organization through a computer network. Libel is the act of publicly and maliciously ascribing a crime, vice, or defect (actual or fictional) to a person or disrespecting the memory of someone dead.
