💨 Abstract

Ten individuals are on trial in Paris for cyber-bullying Brigitte Macron, the French First Lady, with sexist and malicious online posts. The case highlights global issues of online harassment and the legal responses to it. The defendants, including a teacher and an elected official, face up to two years in prison if convicted. The trial is part of a broader effort by the Macrons to combat misinformation and conspiracy theories, including a defamation lawsuit in the U.S.
