    In this episode, I discuss Elon Musk's infamous "pedo guy" tweet in the middle of 2018. Musk leveled the accusation at British cave diver, Vernon Unsworth, after Unsworth offered to rescue the highly publicised 12 Thai children who were trapped in a cave. So what happens when you call someone a pedo online? How does the law protect victims of online abuse? The answer isn't as straightforward as you might think.
