- D.D. v. R.R. In this cyberbullying case, D.C., a 15 year old
student, and his parents brought a hate crime, defamation, and
other claims against another student, R.R., and his parents
concerning the posting of threatening and derogatory comments on
the student, D.C.'s, web page. One comment referred to R.R.'s
desire to "pound your head in with an ice pick". The court denied
the special motion to strike under California Code of Civil
Procedure 425.16. The Court of Appeal found that the defendants
statements were true threats and were not protected speech and not
a public issue. This case demonstrates that some instances of cyber
bullying may not necessarily be protected under Freedom of Speech.
