Overview

• Judge Alberto Recondo rejected the amparo on August 18, holding that Javier Milei’s June 1 repost did not constitute a state act or a direct attack on Ian Moche.
• The ruling treated Milei’s verified @JMilei account as personal in this instance and said ordering deletion would amount to impermissible prior censorship, assigning case costs to the family.
• The appeal asks the Cámara Federal de La Plata to void the decision, compel deletion of the post, and bar similar future publications from the presidential account.
• The contested repost amplified a third-party message with photos of Ian and included Milei’s criticism of journalist Paulino Rodrigues, which the judge said was the true target of the remark.
• Ian’s family reports online harassment and doxxing after the repost, their lawyers have warned they may seek suspension of Milei’s X account, and Ian has been advised to stay off social media for now.
