THE INTERNET VIOLENCE IN QUEBEC...
By Bernard Bujold -
One might think that violence is a story for foreign countries, such as Russia, Israel, or the United States. Well, this violence also exists in Quebec...
One of my seemingly mild-mannered Facebook contacts recently posted the following message about Donald Trump:
"The orange man is a unique vermin he must be wiped off the slate of life as of November 5".
This is a translation of his writing in French:
"L’homme orange est une vermine unique il faut l’effacer de l’ardoise de la vie dès le 5 novembre »
Clearly, this is a verbal death threat, and if the guy lived in the U.S., rather than Montreal, the authorities would be alerted to his case.
Here in Canada, we've seen several social media threats against Justin Trudeau, and the RCMP has prosecuted the perpetrators. Recently, journalist Sophie Durocher testified in court about death threats against her on the Internet.
Virtual verbal violence has become frequent and dangerous.
Regarding my Facebook contact, I've warned him to stop making this kind of threat, which is totally illegal. Will he stop? To be continued!
