A police officer who deliberately posted a misleading video clip of a sexual assault to try to stir up hatred against migrant children has become the first person in Spain to be handed a jail sentence for using social media to publish and spread fake news.
How exactly did these people know it was deliberate?
How did they prove that in a court of law?
A court in Barcelona on Tuesday convicted the Guardia Civil officer of an offence against fundamental rights and public freedoms and sentenced him to 15 months in prison and a fine of €1,620 (£1,410).
The defendant, who accepted a prosecution deal, will avoid prison as custodial sentences of less than two years are not served by first-time offenders in Spain. However, the court ordered him to undertake a human rights and anti-discrimination course and to refrain from posting defamatory comments on social media.
The court heard that in July 2019 the defendant posted a video on his Twitter account that he said showed a young Moroccan migrant raping a woman in Canet de Mar, a town near Barcelona. He uploaded the video – which in fact showed a woman being beaten and sexually assaulted in China – a few days after a woman in Canet de Mar was allegedly raped by two foreign minors living in a reception centre.
“Here’s a video of the Moroccan mena [an often derogatory term for unaccompanied minors] in Canet de Mar – one of the ones who we’ll end up paying for until he’s 23,” read the post. The officer also suggested that attacks by “lunatics and packs of Moroccans” were being ignored by the media.
The video was watched almost 21,000 times.
They are ignored by the media.
Why do you think hundreds of millions of people are willing to believe literally any rando on the internet more than they believe you in the first place?
We probably need to address that elephant in the room before we ever start talking about randos on the internet being an informational threat.
If all mainstream journalists who lie went to prison, we wouldn’t even have weathermen anymore
