The British libel laws leave some to be desired but they would have solved a situation like this. Publications would not have been able to rebroadcast the accusation with proof.
- krageon 8y agoI think there are mechanisms in most civilized countries that allow you to somehow stop this kind of malice. Therefore maybe it is more useful to ask ourselves the question "Why doesn't the US?".

Also in the US the website is not considered the publisher despite their branding being everywhere and getting all the ad revenue.
