The UK has egregious libel laws where the burden of proof is on the defendant, and their reactionary judiciary is all too happy to issue “super injunctions” where the existence of an injunction is itself gagged. This is used by shady corporations and oligarchs to shield themselves from scrutiny, like the well-known Trafigura case (they were dumping toxic waste in the seas off the Ivory Coast). It’s long past time the adopted a SLAPP statute.
