DISQUS

Let's take bloggers, for example . . . many bloggers I know blog using an alias thus protecting their own identity. About all that happens is a little name calling due to differing political views. Not even threats. The people I know, however, signed up for the account using accurate information. This article is misleading. One can still have an anonymous account, or an alias. All the law is asking is that people use accurate information when signing up for the account. Lori Drew didn't. We have a situation where one can use the internet to post lies, post personal information, lure children, and cyber bully without consequence. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with that. But, more to the point of the article, this case is mostly about retribution. Lori Drew is is a pathetic, low life, scumbag. For someone to go to the lengths she did simply because her daughter had a "falling out" with Megan is beyond words. There are already cyber bullying laws popping up and few have noticed. This case, if anything, will raise awareness and provide a bit of a detriment to anyone else thinking of doing the same.
