Whatever the result of the Stevens case will be, it will not change the meanings of bullying and libel. They are different things. Go look the words up in Merriam-Webster.
Also, the Stevens Case pertains to an attack on a model, famous as she may be, not a politician. There are thousands upon thousands of posts about politicians, a lot of them very insulting and a lot of them alleging corruption, *** scandals, etc in the States. None of them result in even a comment from their politicians because they know already that it is a losing battle to do so.
By even paying attention to the numerous thousands of posts every day directed against a politician, they bolster their legitimacy, which has the contrary effect of what they intended. It's like the katrina halili scandal, if she had not brought it up and if it had not been made a huge deal of, then hardly anyone will have seen the videos at all. Fact of the matter is, you direct your attention at a perceived insult and all of a sudden, everyone is in on it when otherwise it would have simply been forgotten as just another comment on the internet...
