LIBEL, libellus, criminal law.

Online libel, or cyberlibel, takes electronic forms such as email, mailing lists, newsgroups, chat rooms, podcasts, vodcasts and Web pages. A false charge that is uttered but not published is considered slander. For something to be considered libel, it must involve false statements knowingly presented as fact.
