I personally think he has a point.

That's totally fine if this is how he feels, it was the innapropriate remarks, racism, sexism and threats that followed that are the problem and why he's being taken to court.

The parent of a girl who ended up killing herself after online bullying went to see the PM earlier this week in connection with the campaign to ban smartphones for under 16's.
The father of another girl who was literally bullied to death also wants a specific law to ban cyber bullying. Mariano gives a moving interview about losing his daughter (and wife shortly afterwards) and how appallingly her school dealt with the situation.
As usual one, or a small group of people starts doing it, nothing effective or nothing at all is done about it. This gives rise to the phenomenon of others feeling that they have permission to join in and so it snowballs. They do it to disempower people by grinding them down, strip them of any confidence or self esteem and the poor girl ended up committing suicide.
