More details to this question:
I've opened a seasonal bar in the shore town of Wildwood, NJ for the owners. A man that worked there last year has control of the bar Facebook site and is posting that we are closed and to visit our other location. The two locations have no connection. I have been told by several locals they believed we were closed and only happened to learn otherwise when driving by. This is hurting the business and I would like to know if I can force him to stop. As soon anyone looking up the business. "We are sorry to announce that we will NOT open for 2017 season. Feel free to check out our other location - Goodnight Irene's, corner or Poplar and Pacific. See you there ! Love, ****"

You need to work closely with Facebook to have this taken down and you can also post correct information on Facebook. Libel actions are difficult to prove and expensive to litigate. Ed Dimon
