Commenting on the foiled mass shootings in Halifax, UBC journalism professor Alfred Hermida says the question of regulating troubling online behaviour is a knotty one:
“The same spaces that let us chat with our friends and share pictures of our children and sign up for causes and join the ALS bucket challenge … are also being used to bully people, to harass them.
“It goes back to the question of who then is responsible to stop this from happening.”
