Apparently whoever wrote this didn't even finish reading the title he was citing.
The worst thing about declaring "ghosting" to be an offense is that there might be good reason why you want nothing to do with the person, and it's not worth having a fight with them when you know neither side is going to budge.
See, I'm curious as to how this would effect restraining orders, as you have to think a ton of people could use this new law to get around them. "Hey, I can't be within a certain distance of you? You're ghosting me and now have to go to jail."
You can't claim that someone disappeared without explanation if they went to the trouble of sending you an official court document explaining their disappearance.
