- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.

That's costs money. Ever hear of slapp suits. There needs to be rules around everything because people are shitty sons of witches and always trying to weasle a way around everything.
SLAPP suits are where a bad implementation of that system struggles. The US is a mess in many places and this is one. That doesn't mean that the concept of rule of law is an issue, but that rule of law is implemented badly in the US.
In other places, e.g. most parts of Europe, if you lose a lawsuit you have to pay for the legal council of the winner. That makes SLAPP suites much less attractive and much less dangerous, and thus they are pretty rare.
Hmm maybe not so much huh

Once again, a case of "please read your source before posting."
If you look into the linked PDF, you will see that (a) the yearly number of SLAPP suits is really small, and it's also an issue that's very localized to some countries. Most countries see only very few (single digits) or no SLAPP suits per year.
Not nearly the numbers you'd see in the USA or many other parts of the world.
