Europe tends to have much stricter laws around defamation. In the US, to win, you generally have to prove that they knew what they said to be untrue especially if they said it about a public figure, and truth is an absolute defense. As far as I know, that is not generally the case in Europe. I believe you can be held liable for saying things you sincerely believed were true.
