Outlines
🥊 'Cyber Harassment' Lawsuit by Algerian Boxer
Algerian Olympic boxing champion Khelifa 'Khalif' Khif has filed a lawsuit against high-profile individuals, including Elon Musk and J.K. Rowling, for aggravated cyber harassment. The harassment began after Khif faced accusations questioning her gender during the Olympics. Her attorney, Nabil Bouy filed a complaint in Paris, leading to an investigation into counts of cyber harassment due to gender, public insult, and discrimination. The controversy stems from comments made about Khif's sex, despite her being born female and not identifying as intersex or transgender. The International Boxing Association (IBA), which has been accused of corruption and is no longer involved in the Olympics, initially raised questions about Khif's gender after she defeated a Russian boxer, suggesting a possible retaliatory motive. The discussion also touches on the complexities of gender identity and the hypocrisy in sports regulations regarding gender.
💬 Debate on Free Speech and Misinformation
The second paragraph delves into the debate on free speech and the responsibility of public figures when sharing information on social media. It discusses the potential consequences of criminalizing speech based on its accuracy or the potential for causing harm. The paragraph also addresses the role of misinformation, suggesting that those who spread unverified claims about Khif's gender, including Elon Musk and J.K. Rowling, may have been victims of false news themselves. The conversation raises questions about the culpability of those who report on such matters without verifying the facts and the need for follow-up reporting to correct misinformation. It also touches on the broader implications for public discourse, including the right to criticize public figures and the potential dangers of bureaucratic entities controlling what constitutes cyber bullying.

Algerian Olympic boxing champion aain
khif is looking to knock down a few more
people the fighter filed a lawsuit
against Elon Musk JK Rowling and others
including Donald Trump for aggravated
cyber harassment now khif came under
scrutiny during the Olympics after a
swarm of accusations were thrown her way
questioning her gender according to
variety magazine khalif's attorney Nabil
budy filed a complaint with the Paris
prosecutor's office on Friday naming
both the tech billionaire and famed
author their names were posted on the
prosecutions anti-online hatred Center
the prosecutor's office did confirm to
variety that an investigation has been
launched to quote conduct an
investigation into the counts of cyber
harassment due to gender public insult
because of gender public incitement to
discrimination and public insult because
of origin at the heart of the complaint
are visceral comments that musk rling
and others made about khif questioning
her sex khif who is born a female and
does not identify as intersex or
transgender most attacks about her were
made on social media particularly X
booty says that the Hope in an
investigation will the or rather the
hope is that the investigation will land
in court in which case the subject will
have to to stand trial so it is true
that in October of 2023 JK rling posted
on X saying I'll happily do two years if
the alternative is compelled speech and
forced denial of the reality and
importance of sex so she has said she's
willing to do time for this for
pronouns yeah which I think would be a
absolute travesty of free speech look
you cannot like what Rowling or Elon or
anyone else said about this box
um who I understand and we've you know
said explained many times is not
transgender was born with um female sex
organs although there is some
controversy because she also possesses
or was found in one of the checks by the
international boxing Association to have
um some male sex characteristics and was
not did was not qualified under those
rules the Olympic has different rules
and allowed her to compete so the bottom
line being I I think it would be insane
to criminalize be having that debate at
all or
being having people be allowed to
comment on that um if something was said
that was false and was lialis then you
can sue someone for liable under U US
law obviously that doesn't really apply
here um the idea that there's some
online cyber bullying harassment office
where you can lob complaints that people
said something that offended you uh that
itself offends me I won't take my
complaint to any online Resource Center
uh but I think it's a very slippery
slope here yeah it's interesting that
the initial claims about khalif's gender
came from the IBA which is controlled
largely by Russian oligarchs and they
claimed to do these tests right after
she defeated a well-known Russian boxer
and people believe this to be
retaliatory they've been riddled with
corruption at the international boxing
Association now they permanently banned
from being involved in the Olympics at
all so it's kind of sad that a news
story that came out of that ended up
producing this they haven't released
what biochemical tests were done or any
evidence that she failed some kind of
gender test and so I think that's really
sad that that's the source of this these
are the same people that if someone
looks like a man or takes hormones and
there for uh you know is transgender but
they were born with female sex organs
that still say you're not a man you'll
never be a man you're a woman but when
it's khif somehow that doesn't apply she
was a female at Birth but now they're
saying she's a man when she's always
been a woman and so I think it just
shows the hypocrisy there and that maybe
there's some acknowledgement or learning
going on uh that is uncomfortable for
them that there's more complexities to
gender identity than just sex assigned
at Birth well there's also there are a
lot of very specific rules uh in sports
and in boxing for who can compete
against who under what conditions right
you have to be in a certain weight class
you have to weigh in and make sure
you're still fighting against the people
you're San should to fight against so I
think the idea that it would be
impossible that this person was not uh
right for this fight is is wrong now
you're you could be correct that the the
Russian one was motivated and I I don't
want to bring any harassment or abuse on
this woman she was qualified under the
Olympics rules and she won the fight and
the other fighter said that she didn't
mean to make it about gender or anything
else and would fight her again and so it
seems to me that the issue should be
over and done with but look you have to
I
I believe in the right to be wrong on
the internet to not criminalize speech
Just because it is wrong or mistaken and
that's what's underway here um I find
that very worrisome yeah I think that
there is a different
yeah who was spreading this claim by the
IBA that doesn't have any evidence to
support it are they culpable because it
seems to me that Elon Musk JK rling they
have big platforms and they should be
responsible with them that them and
others online were the victims of
misinformation right they they believed
this story that uh cleff has XY
chromosomes which is not a test that was
ever done but something that was
reported on they said things about her
testosterone levels and whether or not
she was was born a woman all of these
things are untrue all of these things
are harmful is the but the testosterone
she had failed a
testosterone test according to this
other standard that you're arguing might
have it was not a testosteron test they
said it was a different biochemical test
and never released the results of it but
they did say it wasn't
testosterone and so I have a lot of
questions about if a test was actually
done if actually we should be allowed to
have questions yeah yeah and without
that evidence there people you know
weren't reading into it they weren't
searching for the source of this they
read the news story believed it to be
true and then they posted this so if
they're found you know guilty of
something here I I think that would be a
bit of a
stretch for the law to to go that far
and say that they were willfully you
know defaming her and saying hateful
things and discriminating against her
because of her gender I think it would
be smart for some of the defendants on
this case to be the people who
originally reported on this and push
this idea well if they were just
legitimately a mistake again the the way
to correct these things is the follow-up
reporting that is being done by news
outlets and being done online the record
Being set straight it can be
self-correcting we don't need some
bureaucratic entity to bring cyber
bullying charges that's a very it's a
very nebulous term anyway especially for
public people is there no right to
criticize even in very evocative
provocative hateful language um public
figures and personalities I I think
there should be some people sometimes
they deserve you know what a Donald
Trump can he say I'm being Cyber Bullied
because people are being mean to me we
don't want to live in that world that'd
be very silly I think there's a world
where she lost sponsorships because of
this Algeria is a country that is you
know very anti-lgbtq plus very
anti-transgender specifically and so
there is a case to be made for this
story being pushed causing her some kind
of financial harm uh I I'm sure they
would have to prove in a court of law
that the people who spread this message
willingly spread it knowing that it was
harmful or false well that does it for
us today un Rising thank you so much for
