| > By your standards, swatting is a perfectly acceptable outcome as long as the victim had the opportunity to mute their harrassers. Folks don't get swatted via tweet, meem, or fb post. They have to pick p the phone and commit a real crime. > Likewise, poisoning someone's reputation and making them unemployable is fine too. It's just words, right? We have had laws against this long before the internet. Maybe they need strengthened. Edit: We are clearly talking about two different cases. We have things that are already illegal, and should continue to be illegal. Your examples are both something covered by existing laws. On the other hand, we have folks who want to ban things that are legal, simply because they are offended. I can name a few, but in this clement, it would not be wise. Oh, look at that. Self moderation. |
