But that's not what happened. Someone standing in front of a shop telling people how to avoid buying more than they really want. The company would obviously have the right to ban the person from their store. Instead they threatened the person to sue (with huge financial implications) demand that he never talks about the shop again and never comes close. That is not something a normal shop can and should be able to do.

Really? I don't think this would be legal, at least in the United States.

If they were causing a disturbance inside the store, sure.

First being outside the store isn't the stores property and anyway i don't know how that would translate to the internet.

Second, companies sue individuals for defamation all the time. They can also get restraining order, claim harassment, etc
