In the exam (French)
A-t-on le droit d'insulter publiquement quelqu’un parce qu’il est différent (handicap, apparence physique, sexe…) ?
- aYes, freedom of expression allows itOui, c’est permis par la liberté d’expression
- bNo, it is an offence punished by lawNon, c’est une infraction punie par la loiCorrect answer
- cYes, if it happens only on the internetOui, si cela se passe seulement sur Internet
- dYes, if it is presented as a jokeOui, si on le présente comme une plaisanterie
Why?
Insulting someone in public is a délit (a mid-level criminal offence), and the penalty is heavier when the insult targets their origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation or disability. Freedom of expression has limits: insult, defamation and incitement to hatred are punished. This is also true on the internet and on social networks.
