There is nothing, it is bogus.
We have just taken a list of the signatories of the call to demonstrate against homophobia, nothing more.
All of this data is public,
”his spokesperson Pierre Sautarel told AFP.
Lawyer Arié Alimi, who himself appears on the list, said that "a
large number of data subjects
" had decided to file a complaint "
for unlawful processing of personal data
".
"
This file with the consequences and the nauseating hints is only the latest avatar of a media-political campaign targeting political activists, academics, researchers, people of civil society and artists because of their faith and / or of their political and union convictions
, ”added Me Alimi in a press release.
