The legal definition of harassment hasn’t changed. You’ll be fine.
Legal definitions can and will change if this precedent is set.
The guy tracked down the guys home address and sent threatening messages. If you think that shouldn’t be prosecuted then you’d be a hypocrite unless you also wanted real life harassment laws too be repealed as well. Just because harassment is done at a distance does not make it ok. Harassment laws aren’t taken lightly in person, you have to do seriously over the top and intrusive actions, so there’s zero reason to think that the same precedent wouldn’t apply to online harassment.
