I had not heard that Rex Landy of
@ManaWāhineKōrero had been arrested and is facing charges under the New Zealand "Harmful Digital Communications Act 2015."
The stated purposes of that law are to: "(a) deter, prevent, and mitigate harm caused to individuals by digital communications; and (b) provide victims of harmful digital communications with a quick and efficient means of redress."
The law defines "harm" to mean "serious emotional distress" and states that "A digital communication should not denigrate an individual by reason of his or her colour, race, ethnic or national origins, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or disability."
Rex fights for the sex-based rights of women and girls. If you read the
@REDUXX article, you'll learn all about what she posted on social media, which is alleged to have caused a man named Daniel Johnston, who "identifies as female” and refers to himself by the name “Caitlin Spice,” "serious emotional distress." You'll also learn all about the vile things Johnston has himself posted on social media.
Her next court date is December 16 and she faces three months in jail or a $50,000 fine.
This is outrageous.
