👏Bravo. But shocking that it cost a highly respected journalist £147,000 to defend a suit judged to be riddled with legal errors and criticised for its use of “generative AI hallucinations” – including citing cases which did not exist. 👀 An anti-SLAPP win that’s still chilling #SLAPP
Un tribunale del North Dakota ha condannato Greenpeace Usa e International a pagare 345 milioni $ dopo una causa intentata dalla compagnia petrolifera Energy Transfer. È una sentenza intimidatoria. Firma la petizione per difendere Greenpeace.

🥇This means the case would’ve ended irrespective of it being branded a #SLAPP, but the Court went further to find that @danneidle.bsky.social was “entitled to a declaration that Mr Kamal’s claim is a statutory SLAPP”. This is the 1st application of new anti-SLAPP legislation passed in 2023.
⚖️ Before turning to the #SLAPP question, the Judge found that parts of Setu Kamal’s claims were not based on reasonable grounds, were an abuse of process and didn’t even comply with the rules on bringing libel claims. Ultimately, the judge concluded the claim was “bad in law and certain to fail”.
🚨A historic breakthrough today for the fight against #SLAPPs as for the first time ever, the High Court has formally branded legal action as a #SLAPP, throwing out a “spectacularly inflated” £8m libel claim against @danneidle.bsky.social who reported on a barrister’s role in a tax avoidance scheme
der Forschung oder der Lehre, der Berichterstattung über Vorgänge des Zeitgeschehens oder der Geschichte oder ähnlichen Zwecken dient."
Letztlich ist das #SLAPP und damit im Bereich von @hateaid.org .

I find it incredible that UK law is so weak in the face of #SLAPP lawsuits aimed at silencing research into "controversial" issues - surely the UK government must do something about this? www.timeshighereducation.com/news/threat-...
‼️ Including anti- #SLAPP provisions in the forthcoming King’s Speech “will help protect academic freedom - including critical research on matters of public interest - as a central pillar of civil society and healthy democracies."
📢🟡100+ academics have signed a letter calling for the introduction of universal anti- #SLAPP provisions to protect #AcademicFreedom.

👨⚖️ This case and other abusive suits by the #FossilFuel industry underscore the need for strong anti- #SLAPP protections to prevent the misuse of courts against climate defenders and to safeguard democratic engagement.
A North Dakota judge ordered @greenpeace.org to pay $345 million in damages to the pipeline company Energy Transfer caused by protest actions in 2016/17.
This is a textbook #SLAPP – a strategic lawsuit against public participation, designed to silence dissent through crushing legal costs.
A 🧵
Ein Bezirksgericht in den #USA hat dem Ölkonzern Energy Transfer im #Slapp- Verfahren gegen @greenpeace.org 345 Millionen US-Dollar Schadensersatz zugesprochen. Die NGO hat angekündigt, falls nötig bis vor das Oberste Gericht North Dakotas zu ziehen.
⚠️ BREAKING: Greenpeace @greenpeace.org loses the #SLAPP case with Energy Transfer, and is ordered to pay $345 mln.
This is a textbook example of SLAPP cases - abusive lawsuits against civil society organisations with a clear goal of silencing them.
Bei #SLAPP von Fossilisten muss es heißen: und jetzt erst Recht. ✊️
Zerstören Lebensgrundlagen und dann noch klagen, wenn es soviele Menschen gibt, die das so gar nicht klasse finden. 😑

#SLAPP Klagen gegen NGOs werden Mode. Die Unternehmen/ Personen wollen nicht gewinnen, sondern die Zivilgesellschaft zum schweigen bringen. Unrechtes Handeln gegen Mensch und Natur soll im Dunklen bleiben. Es ist Zeit für die Schweiz zu handeln. Vorbild: die EU Anti-SLAPP-Richtlinie. bit.ly/400vxGv
Demokratie brauch e konsequente juristesche Schutz.

Opinion - An election watchdog’s legitimacy rests on public trust. When that watchdog turns its legal authority against citizens seeking answers, the consequences extend far beyond a single dispute.

Vogliamo ottenere una normativa adeguata che contrasti le azioni legali temerarie ( #SLAPP) e tuteli il diritto di espressione e informazione.
In Italia l'abuso di SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) sta diventando un vero e proprio allarme democratico.
Ich verstehe ja, dass die #Epsteinfiles sauber aufgearbeitet werden müssen, aber ist das nicht schon genug, um zumindest mal (in den Medien #slapp?) darüber zu berichten?
