Well the US is no longer part of the tpp.... In the counterfactual world where tpp is signed by the American president I think it would have quite potent https://www.google.com/amp/foreignpolicy.com/2015/10&#x

welcome to America. This is why newspapers have legal departments. Personally, I'd rather have to worry about #fakenews and PR and spin rather than have to live in a where journalists fear prosecution from the rich and powerful for err
