Abstract:
In recent times, there have been grave concerns about how online content may be harmful to individuals and the public. Of particular concern is how harmful content online can impact the well-being of individuals negatively, especially in the case of younger and more vulnerable persons, which may result in self-harm or even death. This article will attempt to mediate the balance between managing online criminal harms and the rights of the individual by looking at the legislative framework, the concerns at hand and what can be done to address them in this age of technology.
