I’ve been following the Drew case in terms of Internet regulation and its implications on online social networking.
Last week, a federal judge dismissed a case accusing Lori Drew, the 50-year-old Missouri woman convicted of federal computer fraud charges related to an Internet hoax that allegedly prompted suicide of teenage girl. Lori Drew’s lawyer was not sure whether the federal government will appeal the ruling.
The legal issue in the case was about a violation in terms of service.
If Lori Drew is guilty of a federal misdemeanor, then the stage is set to prosecute every person who says something that is inaccurate on a social networking site for federal misdemeanors. It is unclear at this stage whether the judge will rule that there was a misdemeanor, although Drew’s attorney does not believe that the judge will make such a finding.

This is the first time that I heard about the Drew Case. And I like what you said on the previous post. Regulating the internet will drive every programmer nuts. The safety lies on each individual’s sense of responsibility.
And I don’t think that what Drew did was the reason behind the girl’s suicide. Maybe it’s the one that triggered it, but the reason is deeper. What happened is not a reason enough for a person to kill himself, depending from what I have learned about suicide.
It is very informative .This article will help us to know about the internet regulation.

Actually, I haven’t been following the case, so I don’t know much about it. I know he is accused of killing of his wife, but I don’t even know how many details of it. So yes, I think I could be an impartial juror.
