This is a shitty outcome for a valid criticism of an #overlay product:

France needs SLAPP laws.

I have a 2022 post detailing the failings of this overlay: https://adrianroselli.com/2022/03/faciliti-will-get-you-sued.html

Help for my lawyer's fees in the FACIL’iti lawsuit against me - La Lutine du Web

Following a tweet from Cedric O in November 2020 about FACIL’iti, many people, including me, replied expressing their disapproval. Despite the very limited reach of my tweet, in December 2020, I received a formal notice from FACIL’iti. I then deleted my tweet but I was served to my home with a subpoena letter from the Judiciary Tribunal of Paris in May 2021. On this day, I appeal to your help to cover my lawyer fees for my defense in this trial. I tell you why.

@aardrian The EU has an anti-SLAPP directive. EU countries must adopt it into their laws. I’m not sure if France has done that, but the deadline is in a couple of months.

Daphne's Law is now official

The EU's anti-SLAPP directive was published six years and six months to the day since Daphne was assassinated.

@simevidas The last I looked (a few months ago), it had not. And not being a lawyer, nor French, of course I cannot find the resource I used to check.
