Tara Heuzé-Sarmini, a businesswoman and author with 31,290 followers on LinkedIn, faced online harassment after she refused a man’s request to join her network of entrepreneurs. She posted the interaction on her account to alert others about the man’s behavior, which gained significant support online. In response, the man sent a legal notice and secured a court ruling in Lille on September 4. The ruling required her to pay 1,500 euros in legal costs and to remove the post, with a daily fine of 150 euros if she failed to comply. The hearing took place in Paris, over 200 kilometers from her home, and she was unable to attend or defend herself. The case has drawn attention from feminist organizations, including the Fondation des Femmes and eight other groups, who criticized the legal process as a "bâillon," or a gag, that silences women’s and feminist voices online. They pointed out that the man obtained a court order to remove the post within 48 hours, while victims of serious crimes such as domestic violence, rape, or chemical submission often wait months or years for legal decisions. According to the annual report of the High Council for Equality, cited by the groups, cybersexism—sexist abuse online—is the most common form of hate speech, with 84% of victims being women. Maître Alexandre Archambault, a lawyer specializing in digital law, noted that the speed of the legal process in such cases is not uncommon, even though it remains controversial. He explained that republishing private messages, even to expose "odious behavior," can be considered an invasion of privacy. In these cases, judges typically focus only on the evidence presented by both sides, and if the defense does not appear, the judge makes a decision based solely on the plaintiff's arguments. Tara Heuzé-Sarmini plans to appeal the ruling and may be able to introduce new arguments similar to those used in press law, where the subject is of public interest and has sufficient factual basis. She is advised to share facts but to anonymize the person who sent the messages. To help cover her legal costs, she has launched an online fundraising campaign. Any surplus from the campaign will be donated to the Fondation des Femmes to support other victims of similar legal procedures.
