SLAPP is specifically an action in response to a civil claim or other public criticism.

The extension itself isn't such a public participation action. Facebook's C&D isn't a SLAPP.

Facebook and Perkins Coei's letter are simple intimidation. Quite arguably monopoly abuse as well, which might interest the US FCC, US FTC, and CA State AG.

What if Facebook sued? Then would it be SLAPP?
