Senators Shaheen and Cassidy introduced bipartisan legislation targeting foreign SLAPP suits aimed at silencing dissidents in the U.S.
Quiver AI Summary
Senators Shaheen and Cassidy propose bipartisan legislation: U.S. Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Bill Cassidy have introduced the Foreign Anti-SLAPP Act, aimed at curbing the use of strategic lawsuits against public participation by foreign governments to intimidate U.S. dissidents. The measure seeks to make it easier to dismiss such lawsuits, which critics argue stifle free speech.
Legislators address rising international intimidation: Senator Shaheen stated, "Foreign governments are taking advantage of U.S. courts to silence critics." The bill proposes to create a Foreign Sovereign Anti-SLAPP statute, enhancing the legal burden on foreign plaintiffs and accelerating dismissals of meritless cases.
Details on the bill's availability: The text of the Foreign Anti-SLAPP Act is accessible online for review. The proposed legislation is presented in response to an increasing trend of using legal means to harass individuals exercising their First Amendment rights against authoritarian regimes.
