It's also apparently criminal statute, making it even less the foundation's business.
Highly unlikely it would ever come into play IMHO. On Nov 22, 2007, at 2:57 PM, Birgitte SB wrote:

I can't see how this could involve WMF. The idea is to make it possible to prosecute individuals who intentionally harass others online. It has nothing to do with the means of harassment. The only way I see WMF being affected is if the person charged with harassment is a checkuser or employee or something.

This is a question for you legal eagles out there:
A town in Missouri (USA) has made on-line stalking and harassment a crime. I don't know much of the details, I just got it from CNN. But my question is, if the person charged an/or convicted of this crime were doing this in Wikipedia, or one of the other Projects, would the case involve us.
Just curious.
