RAMROD 116,995 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Laws will be strengthened to protect people from cyberbullying and online trolling and keep up with changes to technology, the New South Wales Government has announced. The changes aim to address an emerging trend of offenders threatening and harassing victims online through social media. Those who stalk or intimidate using modern technology will face a maximum of five years in prison under legislation to be introduced this month. The laws will also apply to juvenile offenders, but Mr Speakman said incarceration would apply "only in the most extreme circumstances". The law changes follow the high-profile death of 14-year-old schoolgirl Amy "Dolly" Everett who took her own life in January after she was tormented by relentless online bullying. full article: http://abc.net.au/news/2018-10-07/online-trolls-and-cyberbullies-in-nsw-face-tougher-new-laws/10348246?pfmredir=sm That is very good indeed Hope this will spread nationwide tho!
