Lashon Hara – this means "evil tongue" and can be translated as slander, gossip, or public shaming. Spreading Lashon Hara is a serious sin in Judaism. Nowadays, it goes beyond simply speaking within one's social group. For we now have the disastrous opportunity through the capabilities of the internet to spread false statements or sheer claims about people thousands of kilometers away. Mirna Funk and Anna Nero discuss the limits of what can be said and where cancel culture begins.

Anna Nero is a visual artist of Russian-Jewish descent. She was born in 1988 into a Moscow artist family. In 1995, the family moved to the Federal Republic of Germany. From 2009 to 2012, she studied at the Mainz University of Applied Sciences under Anne Berning and then at the Leipzig School of Graphic and Book Art under Ingo Meller and Oliver Kossack. She completed her studies as a master student under Heribert C. Ottersbach. In 2018, she received a scholarship from the Kulturstiftung des Freistaates Sachsen for a three-month study stay in Columbus (Ohio). She received additional scholarships for Detroit and Yangon in Myanmar. From 2019 to 2022, she was a lecturer at the Mainz University of Applied Sciences. Anna Nero sees herself as a feminist and a fighter against anti-Semitism, sexism, and racism.
