Against this for the same reason I'm against anti-bullying laws.

Standing up for yourself is a necessary part of growing up and being an adult. You remove that and you remove you add yet another thing creating more and more child-adults.

I think most people realize that standing up for yourself is an important part of growing up

but its not like they are going to kick down everybodies door who makes a snarky comments on the web..


I think its more for the situations where people terrorize a person for years... so they or their family can have some form of legal recourse.


there are various degrees of crimes.. they just need a law in order to arrest somebody..



let me give you an example.. you could punch somebody in the face and not go to jail... if the cops are busy it isn't worth their time to deal with the situation


but if you beat the crap out of somebody and they end up in the hospital... the police would use that law to arrest you.


same kind of thinking with this law.. just trolling on the web isn't going to cause you legal trouble.. but say an orchestrated campaign against somebody.. like hacking accounts.. posting private information.. signing people up for goods and services, calling jobs, friends, acquaintances, basically stalking somebody probably should be against the law.

its pretty much the same thing as laws that have been in place for years on mail and phone.. just now applying to the internet communication.


put simply.. there are so many things against the law that its not worth the time to punish every single offense.. but for serious offenses.. having a law is a nice tool to have
