This author will argue the legislation afforded to victims is sufficient and that the current mechanisms adopted by the courts act as a check and balance system. Additionally, this author will also highlight that social media companies have empowered many social media users to take action into their own hands, rather than being reliant on the courts to remedy every instance of harmful communication. Therefore, the courts should not be lowering the threshold which would allow an increase of cases to be brought forward. This author will also highlight that the courts respect the right to freedom of expression but have installed a classification and hierarchy on speech, therefore allowing a court to concentrate its efforts on the truly abhorrent content worthy of criminal proceedings.
