Defamation by... censoring?

Defamation by claiming that the authors of the article in question were lying, or perpetrating a hoax.

I think from a legal standpoint, they’re on firm ground with simply censoring them under the “missing context” category. Everything under the sun could arguably be said to be missing context.

Where they went too far is with their “hoax alert” and their headline that said their article was false without evidence.
