What is the Right Of Reply<\/h3>\n

The “Right of Reply” or “Right of Correction” generally means the right to defend oneself against public criticism in the same venue where it was published. In some countries, it is a legal or even constitutional right. In other countries, it is not a legal right as such, but a right which certain media outlets and publications choose to grant to people who have been severely criticised by them, as a matter of editorial policy.<\/p>\n

The United Nations recognises the “International Right of Correction” through the “Convention on the International Right of Correction”, which entered into force on August 24, 1962.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/rightofreply.org\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/replying-to-defamation.png” force_fullwidth=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ custom_margin=”50px|||” animation_style=”fade” locked=”off”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_margin=”||70px|” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/rightofreply.org\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/defamation-slander-smear-wordcloud.png” force_fullwidth=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ custom_margin=”70px|||” animation_style=”fade”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.27.4″ text_font=”Lato||||||||” text_text_color=”#898f99″ text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”2em” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”Lato||||||||” header_3_font=”Lato|700|||||||” header_3_font_size=”36px” header_3_line_height=”1.5em” custom_margin=”60px|||”]<\/p>\n

The Problem<\/h3>\n

With the advent of powerful search engines, victims of malicious speech find it difficult to respond to criticism in a meaningful way. Google search results for a person or business are often used for due diligence, personal and business reputations can be destroyed by bad first impressions in Google.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_margin=”||70px|” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.27.4″ text_font=”Lato||||||||” text_text_color=”#898f99″ text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”2em” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”Lato||||||||” header_3_font=”Lato|700|||||||” header_3_font_size=”36px” header_3_line_height=”1.5em” custom_margin=”60px|||”]<\/p>\n

The Solution<\/h3>\n

The RightOfReply.org platform provides a conspicuous, credible and verified voice for rich or poor, strong or weak. It levels the playing field for individuals who do not have the financial or technical wherewithal to ensure their voice is heard, in Google search results, above powerful media platforms.<\/p>\n

Be specific and provide arguments to explain why the article you are challenging is in error. Provide exact quotes to sound trustworthy and convincing.<\/p>\n

Reference relevant documentation that supports your claims. Don\u2019t publish personal details of your critic; we do not want a “flame war”.<\/p>\n
