BleepingComputer needs your help to fight a frivolous lawsuit and defend its
RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH!
Enigma Software is suing us because of a negative review of SpyHunter.
Enigma Software doesn't like this post and instead of publicly defending their product, they are trying to bully us into censoring it.
We are asking for your help to defend the suit. The hallmark of a SLAPP suit, which is what we think this is, is to file a frivolous claim to try and silence your opponent.
It is true, “freedom isn’t free”. We can’t afford to fight on our own. But you can help us crowd fund our defense.
A case like this could easily cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Enigma Software has a history of filing lawsuits to censor and bully people into removing reviews or opinions about their products.
If BleepingComputer does not get the help we need and we lose this battle, it will only embolden Enigma Software to try to silence other bloggers, IT technicians, or computer security enthusiasts.
We have provided free support. When people asked how they could pay us back we always said to pay it forward to a local charity.
But now we need your help!
Please help us by contributing towards our legal defense.
We also need you to help spread the word so that others contribute to our defense.
The Internet community needs to show a united front in support of Freedom of Speech without fear of being bullied! The more people who know about this will enable us to raise the funds we need to fight for our Right to Free Speech!
