Woman Who Took Google to Court: Safety the Issue
"Had any of this been done to me over the phone or through the mail or, you know, just posting up stuff around the city, I would have been able to go to the police and ask for help. But online ... the legislation just isn't there. And so, I had to pursue a different angle in order to find this person who's been, you know, harassing me both online and offline... I don't care about being called names. It was a safety issue. But then I realized, 'You know what? This is - this is not Carla. I'm pretty fearless. You know, why am I looking over my shoulders all the time?"
(I'm posting this because of the initial outrage - how dare someone sue Google over a YouTube comment they didn't like? She's not suing Google, and the issue isn't defamation or free speech: it's stalking.)
