Wont they just use freedom of the press in some way?

They must get sued left and right.

There is no such law as freedom of the press. However, there is the First Amendment.

But the First Amendment does not protect against slander.

They do have some protection under the Communication Decency Act but, they have taken steps that should absolve that immunity. In addition, the CDA does not provide immunity against extortion and in WV, certain code violations and intentional torts.

So, no, you cannot simply state Freedom speech. Moreover, defamation is not protected speech.

And, yes, they get sued all of the time.

I'm not linking to them, but if you are at ROR and search on the name of the Managing Member listed in this post , you will easily see what is going on...and why there was no other choice but litigation.

I didnt see the rest of the posts........

What gets me about this, and Beth and the Snowman from the AOC fiasco, is that these posters appear by their writing style to be foreign. Nobody's grammar and spelling are that bad.

I wonder who is paying them to make these posts? I hope Apex finds out.

I will find out and I can assure you that many people's spelling and syntax is just as poor in the U.S.

That's true, it is.

I went to a wedding a few weeks ago where the bride (whose family is responsible for most of the wedding) just got a master's degree. I found five mistakes in the program alone.
