[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are overlooking the actual meaning of the decision.

47.1 is designed to protect people who bring good faith allegations of harassment or abuse from defamation claims designed to bully them into silence. This is the express purpose of the law is nicknamed (by it's designers and proponents) the Speak Your Truth Act.

Baldoni was found to have violated the law by filing a defamation action against Blake, who had made good faith claims of harassment against him. She was speaking the truth, he was trying to silence her.

This was the legal finding by a federal judge. [/quote]

That was not even remotely the finding.  The finding was that his defamation claim was defeated by the litigation privilege.  The judge never found she made "good faith claims of harassment" and that isn't required by 47.1.  Nor was there a finding as to her being truthful.  Only a jury could determine that, and Blake was clearly afraid of bringing her claims to a jury.[/quote]
