First, contact can mean communication with someone. Second, the internet has moderators all over it because merely saying ugly things to or about people can potentially cause real world harm. The article admits that no actual physical contact occurred. I agree the term sexual assault is problematic. But it is the norm for there to not be a ready made term for completely new, previously unavailable experiences. Anyway, I am planning on stepping away from this discussion. I find it galling that it is being limited to simply dismissing what happened to her as if her fear and upset don't really count because "it was just pixels on a screen."
