What would you have done if you were in Carlsen's position and you suspected someone (not necessarily Niemann) had acted maliciously (but you didn't want to get sued for defamation or breach of contract)?
It's easy to say "Just don't tweet anything", and that's advice that we might wish millions of other people would follow too, but Carlsen is now getting criticism for his silence, so it seems like he can't win either way (ironically).

He's being criticized for being silent after having published a vague tweet insinuating his opponent was cheating, not to mention the resignation stunt. If he'd actually been silent about it and just withdrawn from the tournament before the match, there wouldn't have been anything to criticize.
