Wouldn't that make cyberbullying and slander even in its most extreme forms legal? In those cases often someone is being harmed (with real, flesh space consequences), despite the material being nothing more then numbers.
- zeth___ 9y agoSlander and cyberbullying are civil law, not criminal law.
- zaarn 9y agoBut it's just digital information, as you mentioned. It never enters flesh space as real.
- zeth___ 9y agoCivil law is again very different to criminal law. You can obviously have a contract between two people for sending digital information between them. That this only happens in digital space does not mean the contract can't or shouldn't be enforced.
