This bill would specify that an electronic act for purposes of the act in¬cludes a post on a social network Internet Web site.” http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/asm/ab_0701-0750/ab_746_bill_20110708_chaptered.pdf” There are couple more of laws that attac cyberbulling by example AB 9 “Seth’s Law” Seth was a kid that was ciberbullied and in effect to that he committed suicide. This laws are necessary to punish people that think making fun of other person or making the other person feel bad for sexual or religion orientation, the law its really clear in this cases and schools with zero tolerance is helping those victims that sometimes feel lost or alone and that creates another problems into our society.
