When you print lies about someone to hurt them, it is called defamation. This can take the form of libel (written statements) or slander (spoken statements). Defamation can harm a person's reputation and lead to legal consequences for the perpetrator if the affected party chooses to pursue a lawsuit. It's considered a serious offense, as it undermines trust and can cause significant emotional and financial damage.
