Changing the legal definition of words after creating laws is beyond a slippery slope - its bullshit.

You can’t seriously expect this to be enforced clearly, anyone applauding this is asking for trouble but can’t see very far down the line

If it makes it easier to call it online harassment, then do that.

If you seriously can’t see the consequences of enforcing a vague thing such as this I’m alarmed

Harassment laws have been around for a long time, even if you cannot understand them.

But not in a setting like this. You are one of the ones who deserve to get arrested in a misinterpretation of this type of law

So now misunderstanding a law is an arrestable offense? Wow, I hope you dont actually work anywhere near a courtroom or in law enforcement.

Misinterpretation by those enforcing it is what I meant, it’s too slippery of a slope besides allowing them to legally be even more invasive on people and in this case children online. Large set of issues

We need to invent some sort of gathering of people who understand the laws and decide how they are applied. Let's call it a court of law. Wait a minute...
