Should "retweeting" be a crime?

If it is done with "malicious intent to frighten, intimidate or cause emotional distress" it is harassment.

And simply "stating something to a single person" does not fit the definition either.

Just read the law.

Maryland passed a law after a girl killed herself after being bullied online. Previously the law only covered the bully directly contacting the victim. Now it includes them bullying the victim to a mass audience, as is seen in this case. 

Maybe it's my profession, but seeing kids targeted through social media as a way to hurt them really gets under my skin.
