Chubb To Offer UK 'Troll Insurance' Policy (thestack.com)

Posted by timothy on from the that-sounds-useful dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Insurance group Chubb will start offering the UK's first cyber-bullying policy – 'troll insurance' – through which it will accept claims of up to £50,000 to cover counselling and relocation costs, as well as time spent out of work. Chubb will provide its personal insurance policy customers the option to claim expenses ensued from online abuse. Cyberbullying is defined by the insurer as 'three or more acts by the same person or group to harass, threaten or intimidate a customer.' While the new insurance option is targeted towards parents concerned about their children's online activities, adults who are targeted by cyber abuse will also be able to make a claim.

    I hope Chubb thought this out carefully because they will need to self insure...

    Since pretty much everything in Australia is either designed to or actively trying to kill you, do they offer insurance for just being in Australia?

    They need to offer death adder insurance, that's for sure. Those bastards got "death" right in their name.
