- sokoloff 10y agoGenerally, (in the US) statements made in good faith and with reasonable belief that they are true are not going to be found slanderous.
- HarryHirsch 10y agoProbably with carefully written laws, same as why we are seeing bogus DMCA requests all the time. Most crime has to be committed "knowingly", but if you automate your DMCA takedowns they can't catch you for perjury because you don't know what your system does.
