Re: Internet trolls face up to two years in jail under new l
Meanwhile, actual trolls are getting off scot-free. When will the govt get its priorities straight?

Imagine the prison riots happening once the prisons fill up with all the Interwebs lowlife scumbags? Have they thought this one through? 

What will the world be like after its ruler is removed?

At least they now have something approaching a legal framework, which might at least bring some consistency.

Re: Internet trolls face up to two years in jail under new l
The trolling charge is not aimed at people with controversial opinions. It's meant to discourage harassment of the sort perpetrated by Dennis Markuze, Andrew Auernheimer, Brenda Leyland, Peter Nunn and their ilk.Scumple wrote: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?

Yes! While they spent their time drinking cappuccinos at the Ilk Cafe, they weren't a problem. When it closed they became one big time.

Government cracks down on internet sarcasm
JUSTICE minister Chris Grayling has announced tough new penalties for individuals using sarcasm online.
He said: “These people deliberately say one thing while meaning another. Sarcasm is a linguistic device designed to cause annoyance and humiliation, it is never pleasant.”
Grayling highlighted his own experience on Twitter when user Fangtastic71 posted the comment ‘I like your face its cool’ on his feed.
“I replied ‘thanks’ only for this person to respond ’Not really you fucking Tory bell end’.
“The cruellest aspect of this behaviour is how he made me feel good then stung me, like a scorpion whose sting is made of words.”
(continued)
