In France, it would be Tara's responsibility to prove her claims. It makes more sense than the opposite.
One of the rationale of this principle is that setting up a trial to contest defamatory claims is reproducing the defamatory action.
Beside, if someone claims you are a pedophile, a human body eater or like to kill for instance, how could you objectively prove you're not ?
Those who claim things should logically have the burden of proof, especially if it is defamatory.
This is surprising because it seem to me like a common sense limit to free speech. It is also why I feel much safer in France.
