According to the lawsuit, Kim Kardashian violated Cantu’s right to privacy and civil liberty by posting a false story about him to over 350 million people on her Instagram page. Kim Kardashian’s post drew much criticism in the social media community because it falsely alleged that Cantu was a convicted murderer on death row. As a result, Mr. Cantu suffered serious emotional damage including a diagnosis of depression, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety. The lawsuit emphasizes the importance of using social media responsibility.
Greg Sobo, Esq., Founder and CEO of Sobo & Sobo, said, “For too long, we have seen social media cause devastating injuries to innocent victims. Social media is too often abused to bully the innocent, incite harm, and injure our communities. Just like those who cause physical harm should be held accountable, those who cause injuries to innocent victims through social media must also be held responsible. If anyone should know the power of social media, it is Ms. Kim Kardashian.”
