Megan Meier’s suicide
Consider the incident of cyberbullying on MySpace that we examined in Section 11.1.3, which resulted in Megan Meier’s suicide in 2006. To what extent can social networking sites control cyberbulllying and other forms of harassment that occur in their forums? In the case of MySpace, would a more explicit policy about the rules required to get a legitimate account on that SNS have prevented Lori Drew, the woman who harassed Meier under the alias Josh Evans, from succeeding in bullying Meier online? What implications does the Meier incident have for trust in cyberspace, especialy for young teenagers who participate in social networking services?
