Ken WhiteCan a tarot card reading be defamatory? Is it libel to say what you observed in the entrails of a sheep? A hard case from the headlines.

Alan@Popehat I hold in my hand a paper with incontrovertible evidence that Ken is a convicted squirrel-importuner!
What, I'm being sued for defamation? Okay, here's the paper: "3 of Cups = guilty ".
Can't anyone accused of defamation just claim a mystical source if they're called on it?
@alanh No, because then you're not disclosing the facts you're relying on. You're implying (false) facts. The distinction is here the TikTokker is SAYING it's based on tarot.

Has she fully disclosed the cards or simply shared her interpretation of undisclosed cards? That would be a silly distinction for people that don't believe in divination, but for a true believer it might be like summarizing an undisclosed email as opposed to sharing the email openly.
