The Georgia Court of Appeals has been asked to decide whether a trial court was right to grant an anti-SLAPP motion to a defendant sued over a review-bombing campaign for breach of a social media nondisparagement clause.

Key questions at oral argument were whether a party can contract away their rights to free speech, if a party that signs a contract on behalf of another party is also bound by that contract (in this case, the wife of the defendant-appellee duo may have signed the contract for her husband and led the review-bombing campaign), if Google Reviews counts as a social media platform and if it’s even possible for the court to control the behavior of nonparties who are leaving the bad reviews.
