If I saw this poll I would assume it was a joke. Does the law have no understanding of irony? Serious question for those who might know (I know this is Malaysia so things are different).
- neilv 7y agoChildren are still figuring things out, and are extremely sensitive to feedback from peers. I wouldn't assume this was a joke, and, even if it was (or a ploy for attention, or playing with being dramatic, or whatever), negative peer feedback could turn it serious. Also, it's not like certain social media companies don't know this about children, and they've published research on exploiting that for their own manipulative purposes.
- qntty 7y agoRight, but presumably the people voting on this poll are kids too, so it's hard for them to bring the same attitude to the situation.
- wizzard 7y agoBased on her response, do you think it was a joke to her? Can you be absolved of slander or inciting riots if you say you were just kidding?
- qntty 7y agoObviously not. Can you be absolved if you didn't think you'd be taken seriously? That's the question, isn't it? Many laws use language like "knowingly" and "purposefully" to signify that intention plays a role.
