Cyberbullying legislation
Cyberbullying legislation refers to proposed laws intended to address bullying or harassment using electronic means. Such measures have been considered because traditional laws against harassment or assault may not apply to online behavior. Newsworthy cyberbullying incidents, including several suicides, have prompted calls for statutes penalizing perpetrators. Many proposed laws face obstacles, including free speech challenges and concerns about governmental overreach.
