It's called free speech. Yes, it sucks to be made fun of online, but most universities are getting better support systems to deal with this kind of stuff. Theres lots of free counseling services on campus that do provide the support in many ways, even with housing and food problems. Police does take threats seriously and will investigate to make sure it is not credible, and people do get kicked out of the university for making threats. But nowhere does blocking a site or service fit into the picture. I'm a student at a UC right now, and this is the message that was given to us.

Harassment is not protected speech. What are you on about?

This really depends on what you consider harassment.

And that is the crux of this topic, and why some people find the notion of making blanket rules based off words that are so subjective.
