After seeing several videos on Roya News of people attacking #Israelis abroad and many comments supporting it, exclusive news about Israeli injustices against Palestinians on Aljazeera, I wanted to remind world why our words matter.
After 1,000’s of years of persecution, the #Shoah occurred because of defamation and collective response.
I made two videos about them with historical examples of #defamation as audio, & they were quickly flagged, I reviewed & in minutes review email said no again.

However that count is reset after 365 days and also only goes to 250! (🖼️ 2)
Therefore companies can simply mass report negative reviews to improve their rating.

🗺️ While visiting Pride #Berlin, I learned how utterly pointless #GoogleMaps Reviews in #Germany are.
⭐ Any place can simply report negative #reviews for defamation or claim the person was never there and have it removed.
Users can then appeal & risk a lawsuit.
When a review is removed the removed count on #Google Maps goes up (🖼️ 1)

2026/08/05 There was a hearing in #Trump v. #Murdoch and the #WSJ #Defamation #Lawsuit over reports of the #Epstein Birthday Book (25-cv-23232) District Court, S.D. Florida https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/70843413/trump-v-murdoch/
It did not go well for Trump. (Docs 77, 78).
https://www.theguardian.com/media/2026/aug/05/trump-defamation-lawsuit-murdoch-dismissal
> Lawyers for the defendants argued that Trump’s legal team mischaracterized the article and that the Journal could not be expected, as a matter of journalistic prerogative, to refrain from publishing an article simply because of the president’s denial.
> Katherine M Bolger, an attorney representing the defendants, argued that their case was actually bolstered by the Journal’s decision to include Trump’s denials – and that the reporters who authored the story, Khadeeja Safdar and Joe Palazzolo, were careful to tell readers “what they know and what they don’t know”.
> “That’s not actual malice – that’s good journalism,” Bolger said.
> While Gayles did not issue a ruling from the bench, he indicated at the end of the 90-minute hearing that one would soon be coming. He also agreed to stay discovery in the case.

dear tiny fingers douche,
my hope is #timwalz sues you for #defamation
The conviction will be easy. You're already the #felon, the #sexualassaulter, and clearly have additional Criminal accolades related directly to the #Epsteinfiles so

They Didn’t Get Far.. “The attention economy, the Lattimores found, is structured to reward the most eye-catching claims, allowing sensationalist but baseless narratives to spread and perpetually resurrect with little resistance from social media platforms.

Rebel Wilson wins defamation case brought by The Deb star Charlotte MacInnes https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07-22/rebel-wilson-charlotte-macinnes-defamation-judgement-handed-down/106943742 In handing down her judgement on Wednesday, Justice Elizabeth Raper said Ms MacInnes had failed to establish that the matter caused, or was likely to cause, serious harm.
Justice Raper found that while one of Ms Wilson's social media posts did convey an 'imputation' about Ms MacInnes, it was not defamatory. #auslaw #auspol #defamation -

I sincerely hope that this O'Leary scumbag and Fox News get cleaned out by punitive damages. I know it's highly unlikely but we can still hope. They deliberately and maliciously besmirched the reputation of their opponents and must be made to pay heavily.

#Carroll v. #Trump (22-cv-10016) District Court, S.D. New York is commonly referred to as Carroll II, as it is the second #defamation case filed by Carol filed against Trump, even as it was the first decided on 2023/05/11 (Doc 178).
https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/65895581/carroll-v-trump/
Trump appealed. He asked for a new trial. He went to the Supreme Court. Denied.
2026/07/08 Doc 243, the court orders the almost $6 million held by the court during the appeal. Trump agreed to this, but appealed saying there is still a chance Supreme Court justices will change their minds on the basis on no new facts. The administrative stay was denied.
————
Carroll I is still pending a Supreme Court decision on whether to hear it or not.
Carroll v. Trump (20-cv-07311) District Court, S.D. New York
https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/18418220/carroll-v-trump/This was decided on 2024/02/08 (Doc 285) and with interest almost $100 million is due pending exhaustion of appeals.
Why the difference? Perhaps the jury didn't care for Trump's attitude at trial. Perhaps they thought since the face of the assault was decided, he should have taken steps to reduce his culpability. Maybe they though they had evidence that a lesser penalty wouldn't dissuade him.

A quotation from Salman Rushdie
When censorship intrudes on art, it becomes the subject; the art becomes “censored art,” and that is how the world sees and understands it. The censor labels the work immoral, or blasphemous, or pornographic, or controversial, and those words are forever hung like albatrosses around the necks of those cursed mariners, the censored works. The attack on the work does more than define the work; in a sense, for the general public, it becomes the work.
Salman Rushdie (b. 1947) Indian novelist
Speech (2012-05-06), Arthur Miller Freedom to Write Lecture, PEN World Voices Festival, New York CityMore about this quote: wist.info/rushdie-salman/84903…

Jim Grenon's evil efforts to curtail free speech have cost him. He and Batchelor have been ordered to pay researcher Sanjana Hattotuwa $107,137 and TVNZ $125,818.65 for their failed defamation action.
Because of Grenon's dirty tactics, the judge awarded increased costs at 50% above standard scale.
"Mr Grenon may not have been a party in name, but it is clear from the evidence his shadow loomed large over the proceedings," Judge Clark said.
While that's pocket money to Grenon, he won't want to be associated with too many more attempts to pervert our court system. And hopefully more people are aware of the US billionaire's lack of ethics.
