Issues around potential defamatory claims on social media are in the spotlight - after false accusations against a Kiwi richlister.

Mat Mowbray's been incorrectly named on Tiktok as the member of a wealthy family convicted of having child abuse material.

The real person convicted has permanent name suppression.

Auckland University Senior Law Lecturer Nikki Chamberlain says false rumours on social media are a real problem.

She told Mike Hosking platforms do have time to respond to complaints.

Chamberlain says the horse has already bolted to some extent, because it's been up for a period and shared by various people.
