Z knows of both A & B but sues only A for defamation per quod for harms from the public knowing it. But A didn’t tell the public. Has Z pleaded damages for the defamation claim? 100

Matthew Strugar @strugar.bsky.social · 11/07/2023just heard from a formerly incarcerated client calling to say hi and he's like "life is great, man! i live in a huge RV; I'm somewhere different every day. And I got this security gig with 12 hour shifts where i don't do shit but sit there and watch karate movies!" :') 160

Matthew Strugar @strugar.bsky.social · 28/06/2023Excited to share this win I got today in some cases I haven't tweeted about at all yet. It involves a problem that seems to be getting worse: rich business owners trying to shut up their critics not through regular civil lawsuits, but civil anti-harassment statutes. 100

Matthew Strugar @strugar.bsky.social · 26/05/2023Yes! This. It’s increasing, too, but nothing new. I’ve been anti-SLAPPing civil harassment petitions since 2012 and have filed on more than a dozen. (Even took one to the California Supreme Court twice and won.) It’s the cheapest, easiest SLAPP for censorious plaintiffs. 164
Matthew Strugar @strugar.bsky.social · 25/05/2023LA Times coverage of our win today. www.latimes.com/california/story/20…latimes.comJudge denies city request to claw back police officer photos from local media outletL.A. Superior Judge Mitchell Beckloff's ruling was a clear win for Knock LA photo editor Ben Camacho and for the activist group Stop LAPD Spying Coalition 1135
Matthew Strugar @strugar.bsky.social · 24/05/2023this morning the court rejected LAPD’s request to censor Stop LAPD Spying Coalition’s Watch the Watchers website. The court found the city didn’t even show a possessory right, not even reaching the First Amendment problems. Congrats to @shakeer.bsky.social on the great argument for our team. 12911
