Online harassment, cyberstalking, and doxxing cause serious harm to the individuals targeted. These forms of conduct can include the repeated sending of threatening or unwanted communications, the public disclosure of private personal information, coordinated harassment campaigns across social media platforms, and the use of technology to monitor, intimidate, or control another person. The harm caused can be immediate, severe, and difficult to contain once the conduct is underway.
Legal remedies for online harassment in Alberta include applications for protection orders, civil claims for harassment and invasion of privacy, platform reporting and content removal processes, and in appropriate cases, injunctive relief to prevent ongoing conduct. The most appropriate strategy depends on the nature of the harassment, the identity of the perpetrator, and the specific harm being caused. Early legal guidance helps ensure that the right steps are taken in the right order.
