Thanks, Brigitte, I didn't know. I'd also be curious as to how the law
defines stalking and harassment.

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.

Subject: [Foundation-l] A Crime in Missouri
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.
