That really undersells how horrible targeted harassment of a person and everyone that person knows can be.
> The degree to which the effect of the cause is typical matters a lot in designing legislation or making fair decisions that apply equally to everyone.
I think this was added after I replied. I would certainly agree this legislation is overly broad and probably not helpful. At first I thought you were arguing cyberbullying could only be a matter of life and death if you had a "mental disorder".
- whatshisface 4y agoTargeted harassment is beyond the ken of this discussion, which is about laws regulating all speech uniformly, that do not distinguish between yelling at someone's house from the street every night, and saying something to nobody in particular on Twitter.

I actively practice antisocial online behaviors. I disable game chats and rarely use voice, I block or purge things in my news feed that I don't like and at the end of the day my preferences dont impact other peoples' online lives.
