Koch loses attempt to unmask critics
A federal judge in Utah has tossed out a lawsuit filed by Koch Industries against a group of anonymous climate change activists. The judge ruled that Youth for Climate Change, who were represented by Public Citizen, had a first Amendment right to issue a satirical press release about Koch and set up a mock website in which the group impersonated Koch and announced that the company had reversed its position on climate change. The court rejected all of Koch’s legal claims.
