“Arizona State Representative Michelle Ugenti has proposed a bill that would make it a class 5 felony to impersonate someone online ‘with the intent to harm, defraud, intimidate or threaten.’ That last part, obviously, limits the purely parodical accounts, but the definitions of those words could be quite broad, and the risk of an overly broad interpretation is quite real. Considering that class 5 felonies in Arizona come with a ‘presumptive sentence of a year and a half imprisonment,’ you would hope that the definitions here would be a lot clearer.”
