Posting an image here of legal demand for IHub to reveal information on members because of their comments on an unrelated stock is clearly intended to chill or suppress criticisms of SPZI. The purpose is to cause them to keep silent.

IF such efforts ever do get as far as someone being sued over OTC garbage it's usually a "SLAPP action, or strategic lawsuit against public participation, the actual purpose is to silence and even punish the defendant for speaking out on a matter of public interest through a costly and lengthy legal battle. Such a lawsuit also discourages others from speech that might prompt the plaintiff to go after them, too." But as the article shows, the slapper often fails to prevail.
