International corporations feel the threat


I'm old fashioned. I'm a lot more concerned by the population's inability to discern lies and scams in our governing institutions than the damage these contemporary realities do to world beating businesses.

And as the article concedes, the corporations do have some legal recourse when trolled or defamed. In this country, our attachment to free speech mostly means politicians and public figures have no recourse against bullshit.

Except truth. Always under threat, hard to completely suppress if people choose to care about it.

Think of fake news about vaccines too, as an example, or cure alls for this and that disease.
