a quick google suggests that seizures usually last a minute or less and so hopefully our justice system is p skeptical about the 8 min seizure claim.

like not to discount the idea that someone who knows full well their intended recipient is photosensitive should be legally responsible for sending a gif meant to hurt people with epilepsy. that's obviously a thing that should totally constitute assault and should not be legal. In this case tho where the victim is a known weenie and is making particularly outlandish claims about how much they were hurt tho, I hope the courts can consider that maybe they're just making that up cause they're being equally petty.

an 8 minute seizure reported only by the dude + his gf is pretty off the wall bonkers.

For real tho I do think sending that kinda material to a photosensitive person intentionally should be not okay, I just don't believe he actually had an 8 min seizure over it. Feels more like it should be a slap on the wrist kind of offence where the platform itself should be the largest party penalized for not offering pro-active tools to prevent animated gifs from being displayed or w/e. If this were about seizure prevention instead of revenge it would be targeting the platform.

At this point Jew Goldstien has to take a gambit and play the gif during the trial to prove Kurt is lying about the seizure. That is his only hope. Also in the future the trolls will be better at opsec.
