Fact is a defense for defamation/libel, but it can still be costly because anti slapp laws aren’t very effective. The big companies can afford to hire an attorney full time to send notices to and sue any site they feel is overly negative about them.

- True.
- I’m not sure about that. If you base your data on public info and have a proof - I don’t see what lawyers can do to you.

They can force you to go to court to prove it repeatedly, and without a lawyer you might actually lose even with “proof”. Just because you are in the right, doesn’t mean you don’t need lawyers.
