slan·der ( P ) Pronunciation Key (slndr)
Law. Oral communication of false statements injurious to a person's reputation.
A false and malicious statement or report about someone.


Pay real close attention to the word FALSE in those definitions.
You have to consider, if the people in possession of the screenshots or whatever "evidence" that they have aren't in any position to know their validity as they weren't the ones to actually take them, then it would be a heresey situtation, thus open to libel accusations. Now if the person who actually had access and could say "Yes, I've seen this", that's a different story.
