I doubt a European enterprise which controls a server on the Moon is immune from action 
But, who wants to run a site where people can slag others off with impunity? There are plenty of forums like that already… it is desirable if you carry advertising because you get a lot more traffic.
@Peter, first of all, thanks for running EuroGA! I don’t post that much but am an avid reader.
However, have to say this practice you’ve described here does incur a bias. Shutting up is a message. If businesses threatening to sue EuroGA are taken off posts, and only them, information this site offers is getting skewed. If you take one out, you should ban all discussion on commercial businesses.
Everybody understands litigation would be personally too much for you, but then again what’s been said about the Swedish law is true. Same here in Finland. There’s nothing illegal publishing negative comments about a company. Much illegal bashing an individual person. Tested in courts many, many times.
As an example, the #1 newspaper here two days ago published an article about a very rotten warranty experience a private person had suffered with his Huyndai Sonata. A day after another story describing how Hyundai Motor Company just started behaving. Sorry, links are in Finnish. These are professional journalism, but the legal case is the same as with any website. There is no case.
Reasoning behind this is that an individual will always be the underdog against companies. Of course one man businesses exist, but reputation risk comes with running a business.
EDIT: Of course British law might be different.
Such laws vary dramatically from country to country.
In Ireland defamation is worth far more than personal injuries. (In the order of 10 times more). You really don’t want to be sued for defamation here!
