- Cyber Crime & Social Media Law
In today's digital world, your reputation is your most valuable asset. But with a single click, a stranger—or someone you know—can try to destroy it. False posts on Facebook, abusive comments on Instagram, manipulated photos on WhatsApp, or negative reviews on Google can feel like a public attack. The anxiety, shame, and helplessness can be overwhelming, making you feel isolated and that the damage is permanent.
But we want you to know this: You are not powerless. The Indian legal system, especially the Information Technology (IT) Act, 2000, provides powerful tools to fight back. You do not have to accept the harassment. You have the right to reclaim your dignity, and we are here to show you exactly how.
At Vivek Law Associates, we understand that cyber cases require a combination of legal knowledge, technical understanding, and swift action. We don't just give advice; we launch a strategic counterattack on your behalf.
Here is our step-by-step process to get you justice:
Step 1: Confidential Consultation & Evidence Preservation The moment you contact us; we schedule a completely confidential meeting. We will listen to your entire story without judgment. Our immediate priority is to guide you on how to properly save and preserve all the crucial digital evidence—screenshots, URLs, profile links, and messages—before the perpetrator can delete it. This evidence is the foundation of a strong case.
Step 2: Issuing a Legal Takedown Notice Our first offensive move is to draft and send a powerful legal notice. This isn't just a simple letter; it's a formal legal demand. It is sent to the person responsible for the harassment and, critically, to the social media platforms themselves (like Meta for Facebook/Instagram, Google/YouTube, Twitter). This notice legally obligates them to remove the defamatory content within a specific timeframe.
Step 3: Filing a Complaint with the Cyber Crime Cell For criminal acts such as online fraud, stalking, identity theft, or serious threats, a legal notice is not enough. We will personally assist you in preparing and lodging a formal complaint with the Police's Cyber Crime Cell. We ensure your complaint is registered correctly, and we actively follow up with the authorities to push for a proper and timely investigation.
Step 4: Taking the Battle to Court When required, we will not hesitate to take your fight to the courtroom. We can file:
A Civil Defamation Suit to claim significant monetary compensation (damages) for the harm caused to your reputation and mental peace.
A case for a Court Injunction, which is a legal order to permanently stop the individual from posting about you or contacting you in the future.
Our expertise covers a wide spectrum of digital legal issues. We are equipped to handle:
Online Defamation & Slander on all platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Reviews).
Cyber Bullying and Harassment, including trolling and targeted abuse.
Identity Theft & Impersonation (creating fake profiles).
Online Financial Frauds, UPI scams, and phishing attacks.

We Understand Technology: We are not just lawyers; we are tech-savvy legal professionals who understand how digital platforms work and how electronic evidence is traced.
Absolute Confidentiality: We know these matters are deeply personal and sensitive. Your identity, your story, and all your case details are kept 100% confidential, always.
Aggressive & Fast Representation: In the digital world, time is critical. We act fast, think strategically, and represent you aggressively to get the harmful content taken down and hold the responsible parties accountable.
