Internet trolls face up to two years in jail under new laws
Internet trolls could face up to two years in jail under new laws, Justice Secretary Chris Grayling has said.
He told the Mail on Sunday quadrupling the current maximum six-month term showed his determination to "take a stand against a baying cyber-mob".
The plan has been announced days after TV presenter Chloe Madeley suffered online abuse, which Mr Grayling described as "crude and degrading".
Magistrates could pass serious cases on to crown courts under the new measures.

They should call it the Billy Goat Gruff Law...

I think I might begin a new career as a police informer. I am drawing up a list...

No, because I don't post from the UK. You don't like my commentary, keep your blather off US servers.

Re: Internet trolls face up to two years in jail under new l
These laws won't need to get many for them totally to cool online debate concerning anything controversial. I guess that's the intention? Do not question too much. Get yourself noticed and two years writing rude things on prison walls. It's a pity a few bad apples have given the authorities the excuse they need to clamp down on free speech on the web. Guess socially progressive controversial stuff will still happen only much slower?

Those darn Bad Apples again.

The Beatles recorded on Apple Records. Coincidence?

Obama will be watching very closely this experiment in a Western Police Cyberstate.

The Obama has been watching me for years. I've grown accustomed to the weight of his baleful stare, as my primary income streams are protected by State monopoly, one a protected title "Professional Land Surveyor" (The letters "PLS" after my name), and the other via licenses to Limited Entry fisheries which you can buy on the open market.
