⚖️ Law behind the cameras – What constitutes defamation? And how to contract smart so you don’t get ripped off?
Today, it is not only big companies that are legally liable, but also content creators, digital models, influencers and social media players.
The online space is not a game. A badly written post, an unsolicited screenshot or an irresponsible contract – and you could face unpleasant, even damaging consequences.
The question is: do you know what constitutes defamation on the internet?
And do you know how to sign a contract without losing money?
In this blog article we will guide you through the most basic legal issues that every online creator, model or freelancer should know.
💬 And here comes the twist…
Why not talk about them in style?
Why not share legal advice in a smart bra if it gets you more attention?
Self-identity, femininity and consciousness are not mutually exclusive.
The Elite2You philosophy is exactly that:
Besmart, be beautiful, be present – on your own terms.
🧨 What is defamation on the internet?
In short: anything that harms someone else’s reputation, honour or dignity – even if you “just wrote down what you thought”.
Examples:
-
💬 “This girl is a liar, she’s good for nothing” – if you write this publicly about someone, it could be libel.
-
📸 Posting a screenshot of someone for defamatory purposes
-
🎥 You take a video of someone without permission and share it
Community space does not exempt you from liability.
A comment, story, post can be a legal statement – if you post malicious, false or defamatory content.
📄 Contracting – so you don’t get ripped off
Are you working as a digital model or content creator?
Then a handshake or an Instagram DM isn’t enough for you.
The biggest mistake many newbies make is not asking for a written contract or not reading what they sign.
What to look out for:
-
✒️ Always have a written contract (also valid digitally!)
-
💰 Be precise about revenue sharing, fees, commission
-
📆 Deadlines, performance conditions, method of settlement
-
❌ What the other party CANNOT do (e.g. how long can they use your picture?)
-
🛡️ Include a confidentiality clause – especially for sensitive content
👙 And how do you stand out with legal content?
Much legal advice is dry, boring and cold. But you’ re not a lawyer – you’re a content creator.
If your message is relevant but visually memorable, more people will take it seriously.
For example:
🎥 Video: ‘What is defamation if your ex publicly tells you off online?’
📸 Visuals: you in a beautiful lacy bra, smartphone in hand, confidently reciting legal examples
🧠 Content: plain but credible – as if your female lawyer friend were explaining
It’s not sexism – it’s strategy.
Your content is multi-sensory. This is one of the most powerful forms of modern teaching.
🧠 Summary – and a little bonus
-
The law is not just for lawyers – it’s for everyone who works or appears online
-
Defamation, contracts, content rights affect you too
-
And if you do it all yourself, in style, in a pretty bra?
✔️ Then you’ll get noticed.
✔️ Then you’ll be noticed.
✔️ And most importantly: they learn from you.
