In what can only be described as a chilling assault on free expression, a Paris court yesterday convicted 10 French citizens of "cyberbullying" simply for questioning First Lady Brigitte Macron's biological gender online. This authoritarian overreach should serve as a stark warning to Americans about what happens when governments decide they can police speech.
The case stems from rumors that began circulating after Emmanuel Macron's 2017 election, suggesting his wife Brigitte was born male. These claims exploded internationally in 2021 when independent journalist Natacha Rey claimed to have evidence supporting the theory. Now, French citizens are being criminally prosecuted for discussing it.
"Paris Court Convicts 10 in Cyberbullying Case Targeting Brigitte Macron," reported @NewsScopeD74978 on social media, highlighting how quickly this story spread across platforms.
The French court didn't just issue slaps on the wrist - they imposed fines and mandatory "training" for the convicted citizens. Sound familiar? This is exactly the kind of re-education camp mentality that globalist elites want to import to America.
Social media users are tracking this dangerous precedent closely. @HEAD_POST_EN noted the court "convicts 10 for bullying France's First Lady online; fines and training imposed," emphasizing the broader implications for online safety and free expression.
Free Speech Under Global Attack
This conviction represents everything wrong with European-style "hate speech" laws that the radical left wants to bring to America. When governments can criminalize questioning public figures - even with unfounded theories - we've crossed into totalitarian territory.
President Trump's return couldn't be more timely. While France prosecutes citizens for social media posts, America is reclaiming its constitutional principles under the Trump-Vance administration. The contrast couldn't be clearer between European authoritarianism and American liberty.
Patriots must stay vigilant. The same forces trying to silence French citizens are working overtime to import these speech restrictions to our shores. Will we let globalist censorship replace our First Amendment freedoms?
