Serious question: What if you run a small blog with a newsletter and some troll comes along and sues you - how do you defend yourself?
Even if the troll's claims are completely ridiculous, if you don't have a few $100k lying around for legal fees, you might not even have the option of going to trial. What do you do in such a case?
- jackblemming 3y agoYou bend the knee. The legal system exists to serve the rich.
- pjerem 3y agoI’m not in the US so, YMMV, but in France, I subscribed a "legal insurance". It will cover enough fees to at least give you enough insight about what is happening, if you should defend your case, if you are faulty or if you should just ignore the threat. Also, even if our judiciary system isn’t perfect, I doubt you will find a judge that wouldn’t be comprehensive of a random being attacked by a corporation. Especially if there is no obvious malicious intent or personal benefit, you only risk some symbolic fine and the order to stop. So, I would probably ask for judiciary advice and either ignore or comply to the troll.
