You’re clearly the one who is obtuse if you can’t understand that shifting the burden in libel cases on to defendants will disproportionately impact the little guy. Speech has certainly been chilled in Britain as a result of rich bad guys like the Saudis being able to sue people who don’t have a lot of resources to defend themselves. Or maybe you’re just a troll who likes seeing rich guys muzzle those who can’t afford to hire libel lawyers at the drop of a hat..
Or maybe you’re a media troll trying to head off the day of reckoning for malfeasance.
All those trial lawyers aren’t opposing “stand your ground” laws for the benefit of the “little guy.” It’s because of the immunity from civil action those laws confer.
