    “The way you win a defamation lawsuit is by proving what you’re claiming is factually correct” or a non-actionable opinion.

    To prove prima facie defamation, a plaintiff must show four things: 1) a false statement purporting to be fact; 2) publication or communication of that statement to a third person; 3) fault amounting to at least negligence; and 4) damages, or some harm caused to the reputation of the person or entity who is the subject of the statement.

    The law in question introduces definitions that are accepted as fact under the law.
