Law vs. Internet bullying needed?

I AM just wondering if there is a possibility that our legislative body can enact appropriate regulations or laws perhaps to put a stop to all bullying going around the Internet. As of now, negative blogs and comments are spreading around the net through various sites. Decent beings are disturbed and many innocent souls are put to shame. Reputations are put to risk. I learned that in some parts of the globe, Internet bullying is a criminal act. In South Korea, identities of people who post comments and the like are required to be disclosed, their contact numbers need even to be placed in the Internet for easy identification in event that someone wants to sue for libel or one infringes on privacy. In the US, teenage suicide linked to Internet bullying is becoming out of control. We do not want this to happen to our youngsters, and even to adults who cannot stand the pressure of being intimidated. I don’t know if Internet bullying is already incorporated in our Electronic Commerce Act already but if it is, well and good, let us put it into operation.
