Lisa, a former employee of GreenTech Industries, writes a blog post alleging that the company engages in unethical disposal of electronic waste, causing environmental harm. GreenTech Industries has strict environmental policies and no history of improper disposal practices. Which tort is GreenTech Industries most likely to assert against Lisa?
GreenTech Industries would most likely assert a defamation claim because Lisa made false statements that harm the company's reputation regarding their environmental practices. Defamation involves false statements presented as facts that damage another party's reputation. Other options like 'Invasion of privacy' or 'False light' do not directly address false statements about business practices.
