Of course they should be able to sue if the can show actual damages, but then that’s not chilling speech.

I took GP meaning that they want corporations to shut down anything they don’t like. That’s typically what’s meant by chilling speech.

They have a good shot at being able to successfully show actual damages here, so it sounds like you're onboard with these lawsuits.

Pretty easy to show damages. Their employees are getting death threats. People are calling for dominion equipment to be disallowed from future elections.
