What is the test for a motion to strike under the anti-SLAPP statute?

We review de novo an order granting or denying a motion to strike under the anti-SLAPP statute. (Flatley v. Mauro (2006) 39 Cal.4th 299, 325.) We consider "the pleadings, and supporting and opposing affidavits upon which the liability or defense is based." ( 425.16, subd. (b)(2).) However, we neither "'"weigh credibility [nor] compare the weight of the evidence. Rather, [we] accept as true the evidence favorable to the plaintiff [citation] and evaluate the defendant's evidence only to determine if it has defeated that submitted by the plaintiff as a matter of law."'" (Flatley v. Mauro, at p. 326.)

We further observe that the anti-SLAPP statute is to be broadly construed. ( 425.16, subd. (a).)
