Seven Charged in Cyberbullying Case Against Paris Olympics Director

French authorities have arrested individuals for targeting Thomas Jolly with online abuse following his controversial Olympics ceremony.

The charged individuals, aged 22 to 79, face accusations of issuing death threats, aggravated insults, and cyberbullying against Thomas Jolly.
The backlash stemmed from Jolly's July opening ceremony, which featured LGBTQ+ themes and a scene perceived by some as resembling the 'Last Supper'.
The Paris prosecutor's office has announced this as the first wave of arrests, with more expected as the investigation continues.
Jolly's ceremony was intended to celebrate inclusivity, featuring performances by artists like Celine Dion and Lady Gaga.
The case highlights ongoing challenges with cyberbullying and hate speech, as authorities work to combat these issues in high-profile contexts.
