Acid (Nathan Vandergunst), a Belgian YouTuber, is facing a judicial inquiry. On Thursday, Belgian officials searched his house and seized his computer after he openly identified a doctor accused of serious misconduct.
The investigation focuses on disclosing that individual's identity as it violates Belgium's privacy and defamation laws.
In a recent video, Acid acknowledged the potential legal implications and was willing to take risks for what he believed was ethically justified. The case involves the identification of a medical professional who was accused of sexual misconduct; however, there was no confirmed verdict or official disciplinary action made in public.
After the home search, Belgian prosecutors said the investigation was underway but didn't offer any information, as it could compromise the investigation.
Acid was released on specific conditions, including a three-month ban on publishing new content and removing videos disclosing the identity in question. No criminal charges or sentences have been imposed yet, and Acid's legal team hasn't offered a public statement.
Acid's supporters view him as a figure raising awareness about sensitive and under-discussed legal outcomes. Many supporters argued that releasing identifying information has significant legal and ethical risks, endangering due process and individual rights.
This is because the law doesn't allow the publication of personal data related to any legal proceeding unless approved.
