> what would you do if I accuse you of child molesting? Let's say I make a video focusing on that.

Depends strongly on what you mean of "make a video focusing on that". Is the video just repeating the accusations, without giving any evidence? Is the video a fake? Or does it show actual evidence of child molesting?

I think the moral judgement of this would depend strongly on whether actual molestation has taken place and whether or not the video shows evidence of that.

If it didn't show evidence or the evidence was fake, the case can be dismissed without any additional context and the blame would be on the author of the video for spreading libel.

But if it was true, what kind of context would you expect would change the outcome? "That kid totally deserved it"?

Incidentally, Israelis make the same demand on the world to ignore any "context" for October 7.
