Right Said Fred and Darren Grimes are amongst the luminaries on X congratulating her on the charges being dropped

 

 

She sounds like a c**t.  That’s not a crime either.

Fair do's the charges were dropped but she can hardly argue she did nothing wrong - she sounds like she thinks she's the victim.

I'm not entirely sure what the alleged crime was here tbh, as the article doesn't say.

It's not illegal to spread misinformation online (it can be defamatory, but only the person being defamed can claim this and it's not a criminal offence anyway). Even the press, who are bound to standards in print media, can publish fake news online.

 

It can be illegal 

Section 179(1) OSA 2023 creates a summary offence of sending false communications. The offence is committed if:

  1. a person sends a message (as defined in section 182 OSA 2023);
  2. the message conveys information that the person knows to be false;
  3. at the time of sending it, the person intended the message, or the information in it, to cause non-trivial psychological or physical harm to a likely audience; and
  4. the person has no reasonable excuse for sending the message.
