moral imperfection
Oh woe is me, a person has been asked to commit suicide on the internet. Fuck, ESAD has told me to DIAF at least five times over the years. So what, as a consequence I should have gone and set my bed on fire or something?
Trolls having power because they're sitting behind a screen? LOL. All the trolled person's gotta do is Log.Out.
As for controlling the internet by laws and regulations - it will happen, of course it will. Actually, I am astounded that the internet is still as free as it is right now. Humans cannot co-exist without laws and regulations, apparently.
Yup. If people cared about bullying, they would make damn sure schools and kindergardens were places no kid has to endure bullying. Or make laws against bosses treating their employees like shit. Or kick out politicians fucking people over ever second of the day, or... yeah.
Making laws against something as unimportant as 'cyberbullies'/trolls is not my definition of protecting the most vulnerable. Teaching them that this is all bloody bullshit with no effect on RL would be. If the parents can't, well, hey, isn't, I dunno, school something that would be a great place to do that? Of course, it might be a bit difficult to squeeze it in between feeding those kids all that shit that poses as education nowadays and then standing by and watching kids bully other kids.
Besides, by that standard, shouldn't we prohibit bars because underaged people could sneak in, and porn because wheee, young people could watch it, and cars because kids could get into accidents in them, or guns because dumbasses accidentally kill themselves and others with them? Every social media, every website fit for children should (and most, I guess, do) has a means to take care of trolls. There is no need whatsoever to involve legislation.

Its not about this bullshit at all, its about havig legal means and protections to silence people. Today its the trolls, tomorow its the greenies and dissidents, and next week its your mother for criticising the latest hybrid rose.

You have to protect the most vulnerable because not all parents are as great as others.
