Bangladesh is going to sue US journalists in a US court for accurate headlines?

I'd love libel suits from hostile authoritarian regimes, personally. For a journalism organization, that would seem to be a badge of honor.

Something is deeply wrong if you have to essentially lie on behalf of the bad guys or risk significant financial penalties.



Not the US, but this actively happens pretty frequently in the UK, which is often just as financially damaging. https://www.politico.eu/article/uk-libel-privacy-law-defamat...
