My opinion on the matter is that businesses shouldn’t be allowed to sue you just because you wrote a bad review of them. They are not individual people. If someone legitimately had a horrible experience and wrote a bad review, it shows a lot of audacity for the business to sue them.

No if you are merely critical of their product or service, but if you claim a restaurant is rat infested or a front for a child sex ring when they aren't, then yes.

you should probably be able to sue for anything, and judges should be able to take your money for wasting everyone's time.

Yes if it's libelous. Burden of proof is on the business.
