    You’re basically just saying that any lawsuit where one person has more money than the other, especially if one of them is a billionaire, is a SLAPP suit. That’s absurd and wrong on so many levels.

    This “research” was made to try and justify a conclusion they’d already decided on, not to see if said conclusion is actually true. Their entire “research” is based around 5 popular accounts essentially. You can’t just say “musk encourages hate speech and hate speech has tripled since he bought twitter!” and release a “research report” and expect to not be taken to court for your claim, especially when the research is so obviously biased and unscientifically done.
