    Because launching a defamation suit is a PR disaster for them right now. Just look at you breathlessly repeating unproven accusations from years ago. They hardly need to blow up new ones.

      1. Allowing yourself to be defamed is a PR Disaster. Suing the US Federal Government is a PR Disaster.
      2. They could have done it years ago when it hit headlines around the world, too.

        Well one of those is required if they want to stay in business and the other one hasn’t had much bearing on their US business. So I think it’s pretty self explanatory.

          It’s not. Reports of you being a threat to national security seems to have a lot of bearing when lawmakers are banning you.
