Do you think that their should be a law against cyber bulling?

Question

I hate it when someone acts like their tough on the internet. Why don't they at least say it to my face?

And how can they bully someone, if they don't know if that person has emotional problems? Like, that girl on the news who killed her self because someone posed as a boy to bully her. I understand when someone just jokes around, but when they starts saying things like, "You should kill your self" or "the world would be better without you", is just crossing the line.

Answer 1

there was an article regarding cyber bullying in Reader's Digest a few months back; and i thought to myself "yes, people are so vulnerable in the internet as it is accessed by millions."

a few scandals of a person might push that person to suicide, humiliation and psychological problems.

but as all of these cases have bearing against the laws of libel, slander and harassment; the main problem is who is the perpetrator?

i hope an international body create a committee to trace the source of attacks, and to have that person placed under trial where the crime started.

i believe there is already a force that tackles hackers; why not include cyber bullying in their list of agenda?

Answer 2

Yes, I do.

Bullies are cowards at heart.

The internet offers them anonymity to do their dirty work.  That just encourages them.

The law should enable their safe haven to be punctured.

Answer 3

Cyber bullying is a crock. If someone can't touch you, or physically get to you what do you have to fear, your feelings get hurt, you get embarassed. People need to suck it up and live in the real world. People need to be able to ignore things and go on. There is an old saying that says it all. "Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me". Maybe you need to recite that and live by it.

Answer 4

There is a law against cyber bullying.
