> Defense counsel can try to claim it's a novel question. But, ideally, a reckless company will nevertheless be bankrupted by a barrage of lawsuits that show they're knowingly operating an automated libel machine. Yeah, I find this sort of argument very transparent, even if it seems to have become popular in the last years.
