Stricter cyberbullying legislation is now in place in Nova Scotia, giving victims the ability to sue alleged cyberbullies.
The protections for victims of cyberbullying are part of the new Cyber-Safety Act, implemented by Justice Minister Ross Landry on Wednesday, aimed at protecting victims and holding bullies responsible.
If alleged cyberbullies are minors, the new legislation allows victims to hold the bully’s parents responsible.
The legislation allows victims to apply for protection orders to place restrictions on, or identify, the cyberbully.
