Indiana’s cyberbullying law is currently worded it is perfectly legal to set up websites that target a specific person. The statute bans people from using the internet to send an offensive or profane message to someone, but establishing a website does not necessarily involve directly communicating with the target.
This may be the result of how the legislation was written. Lawmakers essentially added internet communication to an existing bill which regulated harassment using telephones, telegrams, and CB radios. All of these means of communication require a specific sender and receiver. One person makes the call and another receives the call.
But the internet doesn’t work that way. A website is created. Then it sits there waiting to seen. If it is promoted, then it may come to the attention of the person it was intended to insult. However, it might not.
Many other state’s have laws specifically allowing schools to monitor and regulate internet communication between students in all of its forms. Whether that be via email or through the creation of a website.
