Only Americans Ever Attacked Tux Machines
Tux Machines is not a political site. It never was. The site was born in the US and then moved to the UK back in 2013. The hosting itself also moved to the UK 10 years later, in 2023. A year later several Americans started attacking the site with SLAPPs. Despite "USA" branding itself as "free speech" and mocking the UK for a lack of it, Americans can be global foes of free press, everywhere (even filing totally frivolous lawsuits from the US... in British courts - a depravity to which we responded firmly [1, 2]).
We find it kind of funny if not ironic that this site, originally an American site, got legal harassment only from Americans and only months after it had moved to the UK (after 19+ years in the US). Tux Machines was only ever attacked by Americans [1, 2].
We thought it was worth pointing out in light of what Disney (Kimmel) and The New York Times are going through right now. Thankfully, British judges already have a negative view of Americans' attitude towards free press and towards women. The attacks on Disney (Kimmel) and The New York Times will only reaffirm that. █
