Speech on Facebook/Instagram/etc can constitute harassment, which is a rights violation. That said, harassment has two parts to it:

  • actual harm to receiver
  • intended harm by the speaker

The second is harder to prove, but fortunately social media has a lot of samples to pick from to demonstrate a pattern.
