so we'd basically have the same libel laws as Europe, the place the left is always saying is far superior to the US, up until 5 minutes ago when they also starting fighting back against gender affirming care for minors and other things.

-This could lead to erosion of press protections overturning this decision could weaken the First Amendment protections for the press, making it easier for public figures to win defamation cases.
-This could threaten investigative journalism like it has in European laws, this change could have a chilling effect on investigative journalism, as media outlets might avoid publishing critical stories out of fear of legal consequences.
-Holding public figures accountable for their actions is a key role of the media. Weakening press protections could lead to reduced accountability and transparency. Destroying the narrative with money is just a free pass for pushing propaganda.
-A free and robust press is essential for a healthy democracy. Limiting the press's ability to report freely could negatively impact public discourse and the public's right to know.
