Cyber Menace
Note:
-'punishment' for the wrongdoer becomes excessive online when netizens (in the name of online vigilantism seeking to redress injustice) resort to cyberbuylling tactics such as 'online CSI' where they divulge personal info on the wrongdoer and issue threats, causing distress to the wrongdoer and their loved ones, to the extent they might even lose their jobs....Realise that it is technology (i.e. the internet) that allows these online vigilantes to commit this in the name of 'justice'.
-as a rebuttal, think of the recent Harassment Bill in Singapore that seeks to rein in such excessive behaviour....
Sample Qn:
How far is it possible for the punishment to fit the crime?
