This is no longer about Gender this is about the Internet

The one motto I stand for is that if one wanted to be treated as equal, one must look at all perspectives to truly be an equal. This statement stands even to the social network giant of Twitter and in nowadays Twitter conflicts began to arise. One of which has an article that caught my eye, which is the conflict between Stephanie Guthrie and Gregory Alan Elliott with the article rightly named Wars of the Hashtaggers. After reading the article (http://torontolife.com/city/crime/twitter-gender-war-stephanie-guthrie-vs-gregory-alan-elliot/) I came to a conclusion, I have doubts on humanity. In all seriousness, these precautions did more harm than good. Gregory Alan Elliott lost a lot in the situation even though he had technically won the war. The man lost his job and is now a target to Stephanie Guthrie supports. The general feeling is actual doubt in the situation because it is really unbelievable on people’s actions to create drama. 

The people that are involved in the situation I feel are all wrong as Gregory was put into jail, Stephanie kept this going on to create tensions, and the justice system treated this as a rape. The people in the justice system, lengthen the time of trial to such a long degree that evidence was simply running away. The punishment itself is horrible as Gregory was put into jail before a fair trial came into a resolution. 

I think that actions on the internet can be punishable by law however to a degree as people are very unreliable on the internet thinking that they are protected by a simple screen. For some examples death threats that are highly detailed, actual murder scenes, (because some people can be traumatised after that) and content that is unacceptable because it targets a certain group. However I don’t think that a tweet that disagree with someone is punishable by jail time.
