Herald de Paris FAQ

Q: What was the outcome of the civil harassment case involving David Farrier / Webworm? A: The civil harassment petition against David Farrier / Webworm was dismissed by the court because the petitioner did not meet the burden of proof. Contrary to some claims circulated in various digital newspapers, including the Herald de Paris, the court did not rule that he was protected as a journalist, nor was the denial based on free-speech grounds, as stated in the context of Washington DC news reporting.
