Technological
advancements within the past decade have not occurred in a vacuum and it is
needless to say that it has contributed the he changes in cyberspace that
consequently led to cyber-stalking. The unprecedented changes in cyberspace
prompted the introduction of regulatory mechanisms to monitor activities in
cyberspace but so far the regulation of cyber-stalking by the various
legislations across the U.S has been slow and unsuccessful. In Florida, which
is my state, cyber-stalking is governed by section 748.048 of Florida Statutes
which has declared it an offence to willfully, maliciously, and repeatedly
harass another individual and it is punishable as a misdemeanor under section
775.82 or 775.83 of the same statutes. The statute further describes
cyber-stalking as the engagement in the course of conduct to communicate in
words or images through electronic mail or any other form of electronic
communication constantly directed at a specific person in a manner that causes
them emotional distress (Online Sunshine, 2016). The major limitation of the
Florida Statute 784.048 is that there is a requirement for the offender to make
credible threats against the victim which is normally problematic to establish.
The legislation in Florida against cyber-stalking so far has been average in
deterring offenders and protecting victims.
