DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: God punished Paris after he was offended by Olympics opening ceremony

SUMMARY

A major power outage took place in Paris. A day after the scandalous "opening ritual" and moments after Russia's thanks to God, Paris plunges into total darkness at night. God didn't find the little show very funny.

RESPONSE

Hate speech against the 2024 Olympic games in Paris, pretending that God is on the side of Russia against the Western world.

During the night of Saturday 27 July to Sunday 28 July some districts of Paris experienced a power failure for ten minutes due to a local technical issue. Inhabitants of the 1st, 9th, 17th and 18th arrondissements were affected.

Claiming that God disapproves of a particular group of people, and therefore punishes them while supporting those who discriminate against, fight, sabotage, or commit terrorist attacks against that group, is characterised as hate speech.
