> This all started for me about three years ago, when I left a Google review for a doctor saying I felt discriminated against. Shortly after, I got slapped with a legal threat demanding €40,000 in damages. I ended up settling and paying €1,000 in legal fees just to avoid the nightmare of going to court.

They can force you to court over a google review?!

if they can figure out who made the review they can claim defamation

Defamation is when you say something you knew to be false.

Leaving a review that is honest is absolutely fine.

Exactly, and at that time I was naive to put my (only first name) name on Google, as it is my only account. And they figured it out from their patients' records and sued me.
