More importantly, the judge stated that, although he could not say whether such a term would be granted, the Court of Appeal did not like judges to make orders that include terms that are not well established. He further stated that he was not aware of which social media sites would alert victims that a defendant had viewed their account or profile, compared with those that are akin to reading an article about another. This seems to be a very unsatisfactory situation: the perpetrator was able to escape justice for leaving a digital footprint on LinkedIn, because the restraining order handed down by the Crown Court did not prohibit such conduct clearly. It is a grey area in which there should be clarity for victims who need protection from online and digital harassment.
