I recently quieted my job at a school I was working at.
When some students and parents asked me why I stop working at the school I answered back on social media and now the school is suing me for difamation
The reason being that I used the school name and they say I can't do that. I don't know what do. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks.

Leave the country.
Then try to blend in somewhere as a student of English, rather than trying to teach English.

Bad mouthing ex-employers on publicly accessible social media posts is never a good idea.
What did you say about the school?

Does CEO count as a social media platform?
CEOCambodiaNews threw in an ominous NB last week.

Bad-mouthing ex-employers is never a good idea, period.
I hope OP was not hired as an English teacher.....

From what I understand defamation is taken quite seriously in Cambodia. It wan't long ago that someone was defaming a certain bank on Facboook, trying to say that they were dispensing fake $100 bills, which they got into quite a bit of trouble for,
It would never be a good idea to write anything potentially defamatory on a public forum where you are easily identifiable, such as Facebook. CEO offers a limited amount of anonymity but even then I wouldn't be surprised if legal action was threatened against the website if they allowed a potentially defamatory post to remain on the site without deleting it.

They said I didn't return the teaching materials and other school property on a letter to the parents whose children attend that school. I simply replied to the accusations. I didn't know I wasn't supposed to say the school name.

Time to break out the checkbook. I wonder what would ceo do if the powers asked to turn over identifying info about a poster, would they do it.?
To the op, if you need to bad mouth someone, first download tor browser, create the fake social media account and then have at it.
BTW this is an ULPT.
