MODERATORS
Compelling speech is a violation of the first amendment.
Yeah, I wish they could force it, but they can't. They might be able to come to an agreement between both parties that if the defendant did XYZ, the plaintiff would reduce damages by X amount.
I don't see that happening, though.
But it's libel, usually if you are judged guilty of libel, it follows it must be taken down. Otherwise she can be sued again, because it's still libel.
I was gonna say you might not have to sue again for taking down the post, you could just ask in judgement phase that you get x amount of money for every day the post was and is up since it was created. Should do the trick.
IANAL tho.
Not libel.
How is it not libel when theres a court verdict confirming it is in fact libel?
Libel - letter Slander - spoken Defamation - something else.
Libel needs to be written and published. Slander needs to be said and broadcast. And depending on who it's against, there are different levels of evidence needed. Like if you are a public figure, the person doing it needs to be doing it with the expressed purpose of injuring you name/actual malice.
Do you really expect people to believe someone who describes defamation as "something else"?
Is it not written in a blog?
Also, at no point in that article does it say libel.
noun noun: libel; plural noun: libels 1. LAW a published false statement that is damaging to a person's reputation; a written defamation.
From Merriam Webster, you should crack open a book even if that's new and scary to you.

So could they not just push it to state that every additional view that it gets on any platform will require $50,000 of further defamation payments. Thereby making it a much wiser decision to not defame the people?
