Coco's Law was enacted as a significant legislative response to the tragic suicide of Nicole Fox Fenlon, aimed at combating online bullying and harassment. After its introduction, nearly 100 cases have been prosecuted under this law, underscoring its importance and effectiveness in addressing social media-related offenses. The law not only represents a shift towards greater accountability for online actions but also serves as a crucial reminder of the real-world impacts of cyberbullying.
Three years post-enactment of Coco's Law, there has been a notable increase in public awareness regarding online harassment and the legal repercussions that accompany it. The operational review indicates that a concerted public information campaign has successfully educated individuals about the offenses outlined in the law. As a result, more victims feel empowered to report harassment, indicating a cultural shift towards recognizing and addressing the severity of online bullying.
