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.

The same type of right-winger as JKR and EM now are used to accuse the Williams sisters of being men. The same type of right-winger JKR and EM now are used to accuse Michelle Obama of being a man.

Strange how its mostly always women of colour who have these utterly baseless accusations leveled at them by right-wingers like JKR and EM. And when I say 'strange' I mean its not strange at all and is deliberate.

no, no, its all a conspiracy of trans people, anyone I dislike is trans.

"aint I a woman?" nope, obviously not, sorry sir.

Used to? Some of them don't know how to stop. Alex Jones jumped violently on this train, and h3, his crew, and Rodger Stone were up until Kamala became the forerunner claiming either Hillary or "big Mike" would replace Biden. Then would diverge into making more terrible jokes about Michelle Obama for a while before getting back to the point.

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?

Funny how the people who have a documented history of molesting kids now want to legalize it via "genital verification exams"

no but see its fine when they do it. raping children isn't pedophilia, only consenting adults having their bodies do things I don't like is pedophilia.

But pizzagate!

The number of people on the right who think the left are the child molestors is at least 23%. They literally think we're Santanist worshiping pedophiles. The number of which are projecting their own pedophilia tendencies is non-zero.

I'd wager at least half of the pizza gate pushers/believers are people that at least have CSAM on their computers, if not actively harming children in their circle.

Good. Lets hope all these olympic lawsuits are the death knell for twitter. Musk has turned it into nothing but a hellsite. Before he took over, shit like what JK Rowling spews would have gotten her permabanned from it.

Musk has turned it into nothing but his own personal fiefdom
