[[SLAPP_suits_and_legal_intimidation|SLAPP lawsuits]] are lawsuits filed with the primary intent of suppressing public discussion or criticism, rather than to obtain a legal remedy. This page contains a list of such lawsuits.

Lawsuits should only be added to this list if there is an overwhelming public consensus that the lawsuit fits the SLAPP profile and has been filed in order to support anti-consumer activities.
