receptiogate

 📌 Beyond digital defamation, the ReceptioGate campaign reached levels of intimidation that are no longer academic in nature. Prof. Carla Rossi was targeted with anonymous death threats and a fabricated obituary , published online as if she had died. The threats were serious enough to be documented in an official PDF file, now publicly archived. The fake obituary, published on the Swiss memorial website deinadieu.ch, was removed only after Rossi's legal team intervened. These acts go far beyond scholarly disagreement—they constitute a deliberate attempt to silence a researcher by spreading fear and simulating her death. 📖 Full documentation (PDF): 👉 Death threats and fake obituary – Official file 🕯️ Archived obituary (Wayback Machine): 👉 Fake obituary on deinadieu.ch (archived) 🔖 #ReceptioGate #CarlaRossi #PeterKidd #manuscriptsprovenance #biblioclasm #culturalheritage #digitalviolence
