A bit of a misunderstanding here : SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) is a technique developed and used by large corporations to inhibit public criticism by making free speech so dear that no one else can afford to exercise it. Anti-SLAPP legislation attempts to curb this abuse. Wikipediahas an article <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SLAPP> on this matter at : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SLAPP....

That's what SLAPP was developed for, and why it should be adopted both by the states and the federal government.
