(Actually I think this is the problem with social media - it very much is the same as a bloke sounding of to his mates. It's just it has the potential to reach far more people.)
He’s aware of his reach, so he did this knowing the potential effect and has to be held responsible.
Sure but I doubt Lucy Connelly thought much about that.
Perhaps, but not thinking through the consequences of your actions is rarely much of a defence in law.
