    No, they’re named in the lawsuit, she’s suing Twitter in France. It’d be very difficult to sue everyone named individually as they’re all in different countries.

      Yeah but if the tabloid got the facts straight then they wouldn’t be able to have a dramatic clickbait title

        Except the headline in the Variety article isn’t the same as the title of this post. The actual headline says that J.K. Rowling and Elon Musk were named in the Cyberbullying Lawsuit, which is accurate.

      I do hope she files separately against Elon and JK, she likely wouldn’t get far with US laws against Elon but in UK law she has an incredibly strong case of defamation against Rowling.

      The lawsuit was filed against X, which under French law means that it was filed against unknown persons

      Not against Twitter

      Actually, it would be quite easy. Hire a lawyer in each country. They know the value of the case, I’m sure many would work for a percentage of the payout with minimal retainer fee during the proceedings.

      No, she’s NOT suing Twitter… why would you keep this comment up without at least editing it? You’re just straight up wrong.
