France

France’s prime minister has announced that a teenage girl will face legal action from the state for falsely accusing her headteacher of assaulting her during a heated altercation regarding her wearing of an Islamic head-covering.

In France’s largest cyberbullying case yet, 28 people have been sent to jail for up to 18 months for harassing an influencer. The judges found them guilty of harassing Magali Berdah, prompted by a campaign led by the French rapper Booba against “thieving influencers.”
