Electronic Frontier Foundation, in a deeplinks article
by Joe Mullin, reports that Virginia is now considering an anti-SLAPP statue,
HB 759 compared to the current law.
EFF reports several egregious SLAPP suits that have
occurred in Virginia, particularly in some Yelp review cases, as well as
reporting domestic violence and setting up parody accounts.
Virginia has typically been slower than bigger states (esp.
New York and California) to protect both consumers and speakers.
There will be major demonstrations regarding the
Second Amendment near the State Capitol on Richmond on MLK day, Monday, January
20, when the weather will have (finally) turned to seasonably cold again.
The video above refers to a similar attempt in
Virginia in 2017.
