Only in USA you can be sued and lose for speaking thr truth. Freedom of speech my ass.
Truth is a complete defense to defamation in the US. The problem is SLAPP protections don't go far enough when there is a large disparity in resources.
It's especially problematic when the consequences to victims go beyond lawsuits (reputational, mental, and physical well-being are all potential threats.)
