Fredrik Virtanen does not want to comment directly on the Culture News judgment, but refers to a blog post. In the text, he states that he is happy about the verdict, and that he now wants to move on after what he calls "the worst two years of my and my family's life". He also criticized the social media that made Wallin's publication possible:
“The scandal remains. The Internet does not forget. Facebook and Instagram have not yet taken responsibility for still distributing the violations to a mass audience. The American IT giants have no shame. "
Virtanen also criticizes the Swedish media who named him in the fall of 2017: “They should say out loud that they are ashamed. They should apologize. They should abolish the punishment I received for being despised: professional ban, ”writes Fredrik Virtanen.
“A society where private revenge motives, lynching mobs and people's courts oust people from their contexts, I don't think anyone wants, really. "What is the world?" He continues.
In an SMS conversation with Fredrik Virtanen, SVT asks the Cultural News if he will take any legal action against others who have spread Cissi Wallin's remarks.
- Oh yes, says Fredrik Virtanen.
The cultural news has been in contact with Cissi Wallin who states that she wants to read the verdict before a possible comment.
