#slappsuit — Public Fediverse posts

Where we are at is that The Satanic Temple claimed in April 2020 to own a Facebook page that had criticized it for failing to live up its stated values; that is, the owners of a Facebook page were not Meta and or the people doing the work of administrating it but the Temple.

Moreover, TST claimed that they were *defamed* by posting news articles and direct statements of things the owners had actually said and done, and that sharing articles by former members talking about their negative experiences with the Temple was slander by us.

Unsurprisingly this failed. The initial (civil) accusations of cybercrimes also failed. The lawsuit was dismissed in February 2021.

The Satanic Temple re-filed in March 2021 and further amended their complaint with some contradictory claims, but also added in the especially farcical accusation that someone who is *not* being sued posting a Facebook comment on the profile of one of the co-defendants with the phrase "The Satanic Temple 2: Electric Boogaloo" was an indicator of intellectual property violations and the desire to set up a "competitor organization"; this second amended complaint continued the suit even after TST appealed to Meta to get control of the page criticizing them and wiping it of all criticism almost a year before in May 2020.

This is a #SLAPPsuit, and the Temple subsequently suing Newsweek for writing about us and then a TikToker for characterizing their suit as a #SLAPP make that point quite clearly, too

You don't need to trust us on this, by the way, but we don't want to get bogged down
