Greenpeace files anti-intimidation case against energy company

Greenpeace filed a lawsuit against Energy Transfer, alleging intimidation tactics used during protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline. The environmental group claims the company used legal threats to silence dissent and suppress free speech. The case highlights concerns over strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPP), which aim to deter individuals and organizations from protesting or speaking out. Native communities, heavily impacted by the pipeline, continue to face challenges regarding the protection of land and water resources.
