Calling someone a pedophile is a case of libel per se. There is probably a case of corporate liability if they distribute libelous material.
People wrongly think all speech is protected by the 1st Amendment, this is incorrect. . Libelous speech is not protected by the first amendment, you have no right to libel someone.
Yawn, has to be taken to court and proven that you were willfully lying and intending to cause harm with the words you spoke. So this libel suit is bullshit and never going to happen.
Ok, except libel and slander and defamation don't apply if we are criticizing pornograpic material on JA's public Instagram account and restaurant. I understand you act as the devils advocate here, but do it in places where the evidence is flimsy, and don't waste your time on this.

Look up libel per se vs regular libel
