Spurious claims that damage someone else's reputation are libel or slander, and are rightly actionable.
I've long thought that doing to this what copyright trolls did to copyright infringement is a road to profit for social media companies. Help connect the outspoken with the damaged and take a cut.
- mmooss 2y agoSo how do you preserve free speech?
- pfdietz 2y agoDon't commit libel or slander. Laws against such have always been consistent with the First Amendment.
