The UK was a very plaintiff friendly jurisdiction for defamation, which is why a lot of such cases were filed there.
It depends on the case how hard it is to win.
It also depends on who is being defamed under US law.
You will have to prove malice for a public figure.
Some Judges will now try to call the Covington High kids public figures now, which hurts the the kids case that they were lied about.
Judges?
Not sure if that's who's trying it.
Judges decide Motions to Dismiss
I guess, but I am not sure one follows from the other.
Just because you are a public figure does not mean you cannot be defamed.
Also, it seems like a nonsensical argument because if a person becomes public by nature of the allegations, everybody would qualify as a public person and the distinction would be rendered moot.
what public figure? what was their jobs? being a student and going to a field trip is not being public figure
Kathy Grifith posted calls for violence, Kids sue Kathy, Kathy calls for a motion to dismiss on grounds what she said was free speach and not incitemant or Slander, then the Judge has to rule to continue.
Good
The legal language used is typically someone who "thrusts himself into the public sphere".
Sue that bitch
The boys would not qualify as such. There is precedence that clearly contradicts this.
Maybe Twitter needs some accountability here
omg these fkers still talk about stuff while ignoring the fact that ppl are hendering the efforts to stop illegal immigration
Since they are doing this "Learn to Code" shit now
gitgud
they cant even talk about the elephant in the room
Many "Bench Legslating" Judges appointed by Dems would be inclinded to call the Kids Public figures so Kathy gets her Motion to Dismiss
I'm not sure you can legislate from the bench on something so established as defamation law.
they need to make criteria for becoming a public figure
But you would probably want to appeal it up as much as possible anyway, because District 9 courts are toxic as hell.
otherwise they are setting a very porous precedent
There are criteria.
The Digital Media Law Project used to be a good resource.
I don't think it's still maintained, but the summarizations on there are very easy to understand.
omg these democrats are still going about the ports of entry
they are the stupidest thing ever
this black lady needs to leave her post
and that other white man
White people are demons.
They made computers difficult to use because they hate blacks.
True story.
I only code in hex.

No, computers are for illiterate people.
