This TEDx talk explains how, although free speech is vital to democracies (and, I might add, to republics), people worldwide are increasingly weaponizing criminal-justice systems through Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPPs), which are burdensome lawsuits that bully people into silence for daring to speak the truth---but how these abusive SLAPPs are being increasingly countered through anti-SLAPP laws. Let's please champion free speech! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IV7veYUHFU #CriminalJustice #Lawsuits #Weaponization #Bullying #SLAPP #AntiSLAPP #FirstAmendment #FreeSpeech
