Some one put a pic of some one I know online & was calling him all sorts of low life words, also this person put my full name on line & what I do for a living, & was bashing both myself & my job. Is this allowed ? I mean really has no one ever heard of ( defamation of character ) ?

You can always search online for lawyers and other people who defend these rights, and prosecute the people and/or groups of people posting such negative things online for the world to see. I read an article on this not too long ago on yahoo's main page. I'll see if I can find the website for you.

If this persons claims are false and they create some sort of harm to you, your personal or professional life, and you have the proof to back it up, you can sue them for all they are worth!
Plus, it may even be a criminal act if they published personal information about you such as your ssan, phone numbers or address, as these thing could result in identity theft.

We have an amendment in our Constitution that protects speech. If you feel that your friend is being slandered or libeled, an attorney may be able to help him.
