Diffamation sur les réseaux sociaux : quand l’émotion détruit des réputations

A recent case highlights the dangers of irresponsible social media use. A premature newborn , abandoned at birth, was rushed to a clinic where he received nearly three months of intensive care , requiring round-the-clock medical staff.

The child's father , later identified, had pledged to cover the medical expenses, but this commitment was not fulfilled. Faced with the high cost of treatment, he posted an accusatory video on social media , blaming the clinic.

The publication, which was quickly shared, damaged the image of the establishment.

The clinic contacted the Cybercrime Platform (PLCC) , the ANSSI's technical center, which carried out checks and identified the author of the publication. He admitted to having acted in the heat of the moment .

This situation serves as a reminder that social media is not a lawless zone.

Publishing without checking exposes you to serious consequences , both human and legal. Emotion should never override digital responsibility.
