Chapter 65
Mason said, “Based on the current evidence, we can definitely win the lawsuit for defamation, but for slander, we still need to gather more evidence.”
“Is it hard to win a lawsuit for slander?”
“It’s not like that, it’s just that the definition of slander is more strict, and we need to put in more effort in terms of evidence to ensure
victory.”
Celeste curiously asked, “How do we put in more effort?”
Mason smiled, ‘That’s something we lawyers need to do. What you need to consider is what kind of trial you want them to go through, whether you just want them to apologize or give them a severe punishment to solve the problem completely”
Celeste fell into deep thought
These vicious comments and deliberate smears had been bothering her for almost a year. After a while, her phone number was even leaked, and those people directly called or texted her to insult her.
During that time, she didn’t even dare to log in to Twitter. Although she knew that there were still many fans who supported her, once she saw those nasty comments, she would be affected. During those nights, those vicious curses and abuses would circulate in her mind, causing her to doubt herself.
Fortunately, Trisha noticed her depression in time and took her to receive some psychological counseling, which slowly helped her adjust
Those who suffer from cyberbullying may go through life and death, while those who initiate cyberbullying can do whatever they want behind the screen, and even play the role of a good person in real life, living a free life.
The Internet is not a lawless place, so why can those people hurt others and still get away with it?
But Mason’s mention of “having a criminal record” made her somewhat concerned, and she would subconsciously weigh the pros and
cons.
Mason noticed her hesitation, thought for a moment, and said, “I experienced something similar when I was abroad.”
Celeste looked at him.
Mason slowly recounted, “There was a woman in her twenties who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer when she was young. She came from a well-off family, her parents were well-educated and loved her very much. She was also very outstanding, and just before she was diagnosed with the terminal illness, she received an admission letter from a famous university.”
“The sudden illness threw the whole family into chaos. Her parents slowed down their work to focus on accompanying her in her fight against cancer. With the efforts of the whole family, as well as the girl’s positive attitude, she gradually returned to normal life after the cancer was removed. However, within two years, the cancer cells spread again, and this time it was even more severe. The doctor issued two critical illness notices, stating that she had less than a year to live.”
“The girl’s family and friends were heartbroken. But after a period of depression, the girl decided to document the last moments of her life and share them on social media, both to commemorate the beauty of life and to encourage those who were experiencing the torment of illness.”
She began learning to shoot videos, edit them, and share her daily life, participating in half-marathons, learning to ski and ride horses, trying to fulfill her final wishes. Within a week of posting the videos, they had been viewed more than ten million times. People sent their blessings to the optimistic young girl, but at the same time, there were some doubting voices.
“Who can run a half-marathon with cancer?”
