Greenpeace found liable for millions in damages over pipeline protests defamation. Thoughts?

[Cubus]

A North Dakota jury on Wednesday found Greenpeace liable for defamation and other claims brought by a pipeline company in connection with protests against the Dakota Access oil pipeline.

The nine-person jury awarded Dallas-based Energy Transfer and its subsidiary Dakota Access more than $650 million in damages.

The lawsuit had accused Netherlands-based Greenpeace International, Greenpeace USA and funding arm Greenpeace Fund Inc. of defamation, trespass, nuisance, civil conspiracy and other acts.

When asked if Greenpeace plans to appeal, Senior Legal Adviser Deepa Padmanabha said, “We know that this fight is not over.”

Following the verdict, Greenpeace’s senior legal adviser said the organization’s work “is never going stop,” when asked if the amount of damages would end Greenpeace in the United States.

I wonder how much USA is liable for for the nordstream 2 economic and environmental disaster?

Greenpeace does a lot of good, like opposing whaling and fisheries. humans are brutal on the planet. Maybe they overstepped the bounds, I cannot judge with what little I know.

It's not easy fighting the big boys with all the money. best they can do is convert all their equipment to hydrogen power.

Well, my country's minister of foreign affairs says it was USA.

Elon Musk should use Grok AI to identify any federal money whatsoever that is going to Greenpeace. And recommend to trump to stop doing it
