"A Paris court on Monday found 10 people guilty of cyberbullying France's first lady, Brigitte Macron, in the latest legal action sparked by false claims that she is a transgender woman who was born a man. The eight men and two women, aged between 41 and 60, had been accused of making malicious comments about Ms Macron's gender and sexuality, including equating the age difference between her and her husband with paedophilia."
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
