The Colorado Supreme Court unanimously struck down part of the state’s 7-year-old cyberbullying law Monday on the grounds that the statute limits free speech and violates both the Colorado and U.S. constitutions.
The state’s harassment laws were tweaked in 2015 to strengthen protections for victims of cyberbullying — a measure named for a Highlands Ranch teenager who attempted suicide after being cyberbullied — but the justices on Monday said the law was overly broad.
