They’re called SLAPPs — Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation.
These are not about justice. They’re about power. SLAPPs are the legal equivalent of a baseball bat to silence you for daring to post, write, or speak truth. They’re filed to censor, intimidate, and punish critics by burying them under mountains of legal bills.

Many states have anti-SLAPP laws that let judges throw these bogus cases out early. In some states, the bullies who file them even end up paying your attorney’s fees.

As of June 2025, 38 states and D.C. have some form of anti-SLAPP protection. But here’s the catch: there’s still no broad federal anti-SLAPP law. That means your protections depend on where you live and whether your case lands in state or federal court.
