This interests me quite a bit.
It’s not so much that some girl killed herself, it’s not even the fact that someone pretended to be someone else on the internet. (Lookit me, I’m really a 13 year old japanese schoolgirl with large breasts. My favorite hobbies include touching myself on webcam, talking to strange men, and sticking Sharpie markers up my ass. My life’s pursuit is to be on Girls Gone Wild, Bukkake Edition.)
No, none of that. What interests me is this:
prosecutors were unable to find any existing laws within the state of Missouri under which she could be tried.
We’ve long said that the awesome power and might of the internet should not be regulated- from a Net Neutrality perspective, corporations and government should not charge for different aspects of net presence, and information is free.
Don’t get me wrong, the girl should have had a spine, should have done something else besides deciding the best way to solve internet bullying was with a long drop with a short stop. Hell, TURNING THE COMPUTER OFF is a great way to get it to go away. Or, barring that, changing information. Holy fuck, it’s not that hard. change email addresses? No problem, I have five. Instant messaging accounts? I have four of those. Get a new MySpace page or stop going to fucking MySpace. holy shit, what the fuck just happened, I fixed all her problems.
Furthermore, what the fuck is up with this broad? “Prosecutors say Ms Drew and several others created the boy on MySpace, the social networking website, after Megan Meier fell out with her daughter. ” Lady, simply because one girl doesn’t like another girl doesn’t mean you have to systematically ruin that girl’s life. I mean, fuck, I know women are irrational to their genes, but that’s taking the fucked-up cookie.
Disregarding the question of whether or not someone that vulnerable should have been let onto the internet sans supervision, how does one prosecute when there is no law? What do you think, how should she be prosecuted?
