Cynical assholes, and murderers, will always exist. So let's stop pursuing murder cases. It isn't like we've stopped murder from happening. The idea is that even though these things will always be with humans, there yet remains a moral obligation to respond and account for them.

There is a difference between internet trolling and malicious stalking behavior designed to inflict harm and pain. The idea that the internet is some "free space" where morality no longer matters is... well, that's just weird and monstrous.

And yes, it will be a complicated and messy process as jurisprudence wrestles with new precedent and ways to examine severity, intent and outcome. But is this a reason to just abandon social obligations of the accounting for evil?
