#if u're from florida i gotchu but if not pls do check your local state laws

[miercolaes]

hi guys im popping in here to let u all know that im going to turn the anon feature off for an indefinite amount of time. i've received yet another negative anon that harasses the same individuals and i'm honestly not having it. i'm currently talking to tumblr staff about it ( i don't know if there's something they can do, but we can only hope for a feature similar to instagram's blocking system ). i don't even know the people they are talking about and tbh, i hate the chain messages, especially when they're about this kind of topic. friendly reminder to report the messages and block the individual sending these!

if the harassment towards you continues and there's nothing the platform can do, i kindly remind you to think about the legal perspective. the cybersmile organization talks about it here. in my research paper i also found that if you check your local laws you should find something there that will help you. under the cut is an excerpt i used on my cyberbullying paper a few months ago ( some of you know about it, since you helped me with it & i thank you again ).

A notable example is found in the legislative framework of the state of Florida, within Chapter 784, aptly designated "Assault; Battery; Culpable Negligence." A central feature of this legal edifice is Article 784.048, titled "Stalking; definitions; penalties." Paragraph (3) of this article explicates the criminal liability ascribed to individuals who, with deliberate intent and malevolence, engage in a sustained pattern of stalking, harassment, or cyber-harassment, concurrently issuing credible threats directed towards another person. This pernicious comportment is legally delineated as "aggravated stalking," constituting a felony of the third degree, with punitive consequences expounded upon within Articles 775.082, 775.083, or 775.084 of the Florida Statutes. Importantly, within the purview of the Florida Statutes, the concept of cyberbullying is meticulously demarcated as the act of "engaging in conduct to communicate, or cause to be communicated, directly or indirectly, words, images, or language through the use of emails or other electronic communication methods, directed to or belonging to a particular person," as articulated in paragraph (1)(d) of the statutory framework.
