cyber bullying

Cyber bullying been intertwined with the internet for a few years now. Looking through the internet for a blog topic I stumble upon a article concerning this very subject. A bill has been proposed to help eliminate such acts like cyber bullying. by this bill being proposed it could easily put half the internet behind bars just by this one bill.

The Megan Meier Cyberbullying Prevention Act is Congress’ response to the 2006 suicide of a 13-year-old girl who was harassed on MySpace. this bill will make it illegal to commit any acts of harassment against someone through electronic communication. this would stretch from text messaging with phone to emails and other ways of communication that isn't talking face to face.You may think this kind of bill will go against your rights but as it is seen now it will not be able to push against what the constitution goes by.This law is here to make it easier for a court to determine whether someone falls under crime.

After looking at this article it is easy to see a lot of problems might occur is this bill is passed. because it is so open ended where anything could fall under harassment if the victim says so. It can easily fix the problem that it was made to stop but also create more in the long run.
