The UK was a very plaintiff friendly jurisdiction for defamation, which is why a lot of such cases were filed there.

2019-01-30 20:07:55 UTC  

It depends on the case how hard it is to win.

2019-01-30 20:08:33 UTC  

It also depends on who is being defamed under US law.

2019-01-30 20:08:41 UTC  

You will have to prove malice for a public figure.

2019-01-30 20:09:34 UTC  

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.

2019-01-30 20:09:47 UTC  

Judges?

2019-01-30 20:09:53 UTC  

Not sure if that's who's trying it.

2019-01-30 20:10:10 UTC  

Judges decide Motions to Dismiss

2019-01-30 20:10:35 UTC  

I guess, but I am not sure one follows from the other.

2019-01-30 20:10:57 UTC  

Just because you are a public figure does not mean you cannot be defamed.

2019-01-30 20:11:29 UTC  

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.

2019-01-30 20:11:51 UTC  

what public figure? what was their jobs? being a student and going to a field trip is not being public figure

2019-01-30 20:11:53 UTC  

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.

2019-01-30 20:12:15 UTC  

Good

2019-01-30 20:12:16 UTC  

The legal language used is typically someone who "thrusts himself into the public sphere".

2019-01-30 20:12:21 UTC  

Sue that bitch

2019-01-30 20:12:42 UTC  

The boys would not qualify as such. There is precedence that clearly contradicts this.

2019-01-30 20:12:47 UTC  

Maybe Twitter needs some accountability here

2019-01-30 20:13:01 UTC  

omg these fkers still talk about stuff while ignoring the fact that ppl are hendering the efforts to stop illegal immigration

2019-01-30 20:13:10 UTC  

Since they are doing this "Learn to Code" shit now

2019-01-30 20:13:18 UTC  

they kept talking about agencies etc

2019-01-30 20:13:23 UTC  

gitgud

2019-01-30 20:13:27 UTC  

they cant even talk about the elephant in the room

2019-01-30 20:13:31 UTC  

Many "Bench Legslating" Judges appointed by Dems would be inclinded to call the Kids Public figures so Kathy gets her Motion to Dismiss

2019-01-30 20:13:55 UTC  

I'm not sure you can legislate from the bench on something so established as defamation law.

2019-01-30 20:14:17 UTC  

they need to make criteria for becoming a public figure

2019-01-30 20:14:25 UTC  

But you would probably want to appeal it up as much as possible anyway, because District 9 courts are toxic as hell.

2019-01-30 20:14:31 UTC  

otherwise they are setting a very porous precedent

2019-01-30 20:14:35 UTC  

There are criteria.

2019-01-30 20:14:49 UTC  

The Digital Media Law Project used to be a good resource.

2019-01-30 20:15:15 UTC  

I don't think it's still maintained, but the summarizations on there are very easy to understand.

2019-01-30 20:15:37 UTC  

omg these democrats are still going about the ports of entry

2019-01-30 20:15:45 UTC  

they are the stupidest thing ever

2019-01-30 20:15:57 UTC  

this black lady needs to leave her post

2019-01-30 20:16:07 UTC  

and that other white man

2019-01-30 20:16:08 UTC  

White people are demons.

2019-01-30 20:16:17 UTC  

They made computers difficult to use because they hate blacks.

2019-01-30 20:16:19 UTC  

True story.

2019-01-30 20:16:34 UTC  

I only code in hex.

2019-01-30 20:16:38 UTC  

computer are for literate ppl not illiteral

2019-01-30 20:16:50 UTC  

No, computers are for illiterate people.
