Since the advent of history, crime has been changing from one era to another in accordance with different communities and societies. In this era which advances technological development, cybercrime has taken the lead as the most common type of crime worldwide. It includes cyber libel, which is one of the most common electronic crimes, as computer data helps it to spread, whether in writing or orally, especially that electronic media technology enjoys anonymity. It relates to slander, dishonour, and defamation. The researcher recommended a need to codify specific legal texts so that criminals do not escape punishment. This necessitated the legislator to intervene by enacting legislation to combat cyber-crimes.
