Seriously, what the hell? Where the hell is this legislation when you're getting your face smashed into the wall AND THEY DON'T DO A GODDAMN THING ABOUT IT, LET ALONE GETTING A $5000 FINE. NOT TO MENTION THIS REALLY HAVE A BIG CHANCE OF BEING ABUSED AS ITS ONE PERSONS WORD AGAINST ANOTHER, UNLESS THE LAW COVERS SOMETHING LIKE THAT BUT IM TOO ANGRY TO LOOK IT UP
Okay, I'm going to calm down now. But I'm pretty damn pissed.

Nearly three weeks after the death of Rehtaeh Parsons, the Nova Scotia government has introduced legislation to create Canada's first cyberbullying investigative unit. The legislation will allow victims and their families to get protection orders from a court if they are being harassed online. The Cyber Safety Act will allow the the unit to investigate complaints and issue prevention orders forbidding someone from communicating online. The legislation would also allow victims of cyberbullying and their families to seek a court protection order that could result in someone having their computer or phone confiscated. Members of the investigative unit may visit perpetrators' homes and offenders could face a $5,000 fine or six months in jail, even for a first-time offence. |
