Tanya Gersh and her family had been the target of a coordinated harassment and intimidation campaign spearheaded by Andrew Anglin, a blogger who runs a neo-Nazi website. An ensuing lawsuit against Anglin could set a precedent for the way courts draw a line between free speech and online harassment.
Abstract:
--
Excerpt: In the first of dozens of articles and comments, Anglin encouraged his readers to "hit em up" in an "old-fashioned Troll Storm".
He provided Gersh's phone number, address, social media profiles and email accounts. He also gave contact information for Gersh's husband and other acquaintances, and linked to the Twitter account of Gersh's 12-year-old son.
In the months that followed, Gersh's inbox, voicemail and mailbox become inundated with death threats, harassment and hate messages.
