Just thought I'd rub this in.A Canadian man has been found not guilty of criminally harassing two women through Twitter.
The case is believed to be the first example of Canadian courts weighing in on issues of harassment on the social media platform, according to the National Post.
Gregory Alan Elliott was arrested by Toronto police in November 2012 on allegations that he harassed two feminist activists, Stephanie Guthrie and Heather Reilly, over the course of several months through Twitter.
Though the two women had blocked Elliott’s account – preventing him from viewing their tweets or directing tweets at their accounts – the prosecution charged that Elliott sent an “incessant and obsessive amount of tweets” referring to the women obliquely and on hashtags where he believed they might come across his messages.
