(AFP) France said on Friday it would crack down on social media posts that put people in danger by divulging their personal details, a week after the murder of a teacher targeted in an online campaign over Prophet Mohammed cartoons.
Samuel Paty was killed by 18-year-old Chechen Abdullakh Anzorov last Friday for showing cartoons of the prophet to his class.
In the run-up to the murder, the parent of one of Paty’s students and a known Islamist radical had run a social media campaign against the teacher.
Prosecutors said their posts contained the teacher’s name as well as the address of the school, allowing his killer to find him.
Both have been charged with complicity in a terrorist murder.
