An Interesting News Report
Basically, A British woman shared encouraging words with a reality show tv star who was being trolled in Facebook. This resulted in the trolls launching their verbal attacks against her. They set up a fake facebook account with her picture and began harassing her. Now the woman has obtained a lawyer and looks to prosecute those responsible. Facebook already shut down the fake page, but they seem to think they can go after these people and punish them.
Considering even our own internet community has ran into problems like this; Where do we draw the line between free speech and protecting innocent people? I'm sure there are quite a few of you who know legally what exactly they can and can't do so I'll avoid that question, but morally where does the line end?
