I think it is really looking at what the laws look like in this space for this new age. The things that were said to me, if someone had said them in person, the cops would not think twice about arresting him. Somehow, putting it on an online space made them perceive it as less real, but the fear was real for me. I changed my number and I moved. We should realize that we need to consider what this is like. I had a friend who was trying to press charges against her online harasser, but he was using every court date as another way to harass her. In the end, she had to drop the charges and change her name. I think we really need to consider what the harassment laws look like in a space like this.
