It is likely you need to refresh some of your business law knowledge. By law you are liable for defamation against any legal entity, the means of which rarely matter. This is evident if you study or research any form of business and cooperate law. The below statements can be found at https://www.slatergordon.com.au/blog/5-things-know-about-social-media-defamation

"Here are five things you should know about social media defamation:

In general terms, defamation occurs when a person intentionally spreads information about another person, group of people, or small company that damages their reputation, or can make others think less of them.

Defamation is actionable regardless of the medium. A person can be defamed, for example, in print, through photos and on the internet.

Defamation cases involving the internet and social media are relatively new, but the same principles apply.

A person who did not create the defamatory material, but only shares it (for instance, by “retweeting” a tweet), can also be held found liable guilty of defamation.

There are several defences to defamation, including that the statement was true, or that it was an expression of an honest opinion. Consequently, you may be liable for defamation if you spread information which constitutes a hurtful and untrue statement of fact about another person."

so everyone that has quoted my posts when they hit the reply button on my post has effectively breached Point 4. Since you shared the previous quote and continued the thread with it. top stuff mate. you're just as bad as me.
