They already do and they don’t even have to be powerful.
A conspiracy guy who ran a disqualified campaign for a TN rep seat sued Facebook for defamation for a hallucination saying he took part in the J6 riots. They settled the suit and hired him as an anti-DEI advisor.
(I don’t have proof that hiring him was part of the undisclosed settlement terms but since I’m not braindead I believe it was.)

- tehwebguy 1y agoYeah but the articles don’t directly attribute that specific part to any source and I’m not trying to get sued next.
- aspenmayer 1y agoSued for quoting an article? Get real. No judge would approve those charges.
