J.K. Rowling and Elon Musk have both been named in a criminal complaint filed to French authorities over alleged “acts of aggravated cyber harassment” against Algerian boxer and newl crowned Olympic champion Imane Khelif.
Nabil Boudi, the Paris-based attorney of Khelif, confirmed to Variety that both figures were mentioned in the body of the complaint, posted to the anti-online hatred center of the Paris public prosecutor’s office on Friday.
The lawsuit was filed against X, which under French law means that it was filed against unknown persons. That “ensure[s] that the ‘prosecution has all the latitude to be able to investigate against all people,” including those who may have written hateful messages under pseudonyms, said Boudi. The complaint nevertheless mentions famously controversial figures.
Good. Did Rowling ever apologize or walk back her outrageous tweet?
Has she walked back or apologized for any of her bullshit? Last I could stomach to listen she was denying Nazi war crimes.
Lmao wtf.
“Yer a cunt, Joanne”- Hagrid probably.
Robby Coltrane stands out among the HP cast members as having taken JKR’s side on the culture war stuff.
Well that’s unfortunate.
OK, call me crazy, but how about no one punches anyone else?
Sounds great, except i think this whole thing is about some punching game… Not sure though, i’m not a sports person
Honestly, the French can go suck a baguette. The fact that something like this can be done for internet speech is just ridiculous, and I don’t even like either Rowling nor Musk.
You think people shouldn’t be allowed to… file lawsuits? This is all that has happened so far, there is no court decision yet.
It IS important to stop fascist speech because fascist speech is fascist recruitment. That is why anti will fight to deny any fascist a platform.
I recently read a book about anti-fascism What Is Fascism? An Excerpt From “Fascism Today: What It Is and How to End It” | Truthout and it’s very enlightening to read the theory. Highly recommend. These folks have battled fascism for a 100 years and laws and governments are rarely any help. There is “liberal antifa” and for example sued the KKK out of existence and it includes using laws to sue fascists like Rowlings and Musk.
Otherwise there are only the streets.
So how should a civilized society deal with vile speech amplified and magnified that works to bringing and end to civilized society?
Conservatives want GENITAL INSPECTORS at School to be SURE your Daughter or Son is using the Right bathroom but also people who have Vaginas ARENT Female so why have Genital Inspectors again?
