Is there a country without libel laws?

Anyway, assuming that there is, that country had made a conscious choice that in its jurisdiction, this is not a thing that they wish to suppress, for whatever reason. If you live in such a country and are unhappy about it, you can either work through its political system to change the law, or leave for a different country.

If you're already in a different country, you can sue for libel in that country, since that's where the damage (to your reputation) occurred.

If a company in the US puts something on their website about me that’s libel under German law, I still can’t get it pulled.

Yet, if I put up something that’s legal under German law but illegal under US law onto my website, my entire hoster is threatened by the US govt. unless they remove my presence.

The right to be forgotten only gives the EU citizen the power that US citizen already have: to apply their laws globally (despite only in very limited amounts and with careful interpretation – which can’t be said of the US laws)

That US forces other countries to police their residents for US laws is wrong.

But I don't see how EU doing the same is of any help. Two wrongs never make a right, and especially not when they reinforce each other.
