Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sue someone for a bad review?
Truth is a complete defense to defamation in Ontario. However, if a review is factually false, malicious, and causes economic harm to your business, it may be actionable under the Libel and Slander Act.
What happens if my account is permanently disabled?
Social media platforms have broad discretion under their Terms of Service, but they are still bound by contract law. We review your case to determine if the platform breached its own policies in suspending your account and advocate for reinstatement.
Is it illegal to not use #ad?
It can be. The Competition Act prohibits misleading advertising. Failure to disclose a material connection (like payment or free products) between a brand and an influencer can result in significant penalties.
Note: Past results are not necessarily indicative of future outcomes. Account reinstatement is subject to the specific Terms of Service of the hosting platform. We provide legal advocacy, not technical support.
