Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Warman v. Wilkinson, 2007 CHRT 27 (CanLII):
It is a discriminatory practice for a group of persons acting in concert to communicate or cause to be communicated repeatedly hate messages over the Internet (ss. 13(1) and 13(2) of the Act). The group of persons contemplated in these provisions need not necessarily be organized within a distinct entity having a formal legal status (see Nealy v. Johnston (1989), 1989 CanLII 151 (CHRT), 10 C.H.R.R. D/6450 at D/6464).
