The Morning After: A Filipino politician is trying to make ghosting a criminal offense

Ghosting can hurt, for sure. When someone suddenly cuts off contact, doesn't show up at a date or just unmatches on one of those many dating apps, it sucks. One Filipino lawmaker is trying to make it stop, which could be a tall order. Arnolfo Teves Jr., a member of the Philippine House of Representatives, said ghosting was "a form of emotional cruelty and should be punished as an emotional offense." The bill -- yes there's proposed legislation -- doesn't offer specific penalties, but Teves suggested in an interview that community service might work.
