Crimes Committed through Social Media in Panamá

Social media has become a powerful communication tool, but also a means to commit crimes that may have serious legal consequences.

In Panama, actions such as identity theft, cyber harassment, defamation, threats, fraud, and the unauthorized disclosure of private information may constitute criminal offenses, even if they occur on digital platforms. Many people are unaware that a comment, message, or publication may generate legal liability. Having timely legal counsel is essential to protect your rights, act properly, and avoid mistakes that may aggravate the situation, whether as a victim or as an accused party.
