It’s Now a Crime in Louisiana to Electronically Communicate With “Intent to … Abuse [or] Torment” a Minor
The Volokh Conspiracy on new Louisiana law (Revised Statutes 14:40.7) that states: “Cyberbullying is the transmission of any electronic textual, visual, written, or oral communication with the malicious and willful intent to coerce, abuse, torment, or intimidate a person under the age of eighteen.” Will Louisiana unleash the Facbook police and start busting LA teens for cyberbulling? If so, the state is going to need a lot more cops, prosecutors and judges and the money to pay for them.
