Is this extortion?

[sonny_1080]

I have a website that allows users to write reviews of businesses and residential homes.

Right now, the listings being reviewed can respond freely as long as the listing's provider has an account on the website.

I want to charge them to have an account. This means, that they would have to pay $10 a month to respond to reviews/defend themselves.

Is this extortion?

I had it like this before but I changed it when someone threatened to sue me on grounds of extortion and slander.

Obviously the $10/month would provide other value (post contact information, etc.)

Or instead of the $10/month, I can charge $10 per phone call they receive from their listing... but in order to post their contact information and respond to reviews, they have to be enrolled in automatic payments, like Google Ads.

What do you guys think?
