enigma princess 0 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 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".Mr Grayling was speaking days after TV presenter Chloe Madeley suffered online abuse, which Mr Grayling described as "crude and degrading".She has welcomed the proposed laws but said social media should be regulated.Social media 'venom'Under the measures, magistrates could pass serious cases on to crown courts.The law change is to be made as an amendment to the Criminal Justice and Courts Bill going through Parliament, and due to be debated in the House of Lords in the coming week. The Bill applies to England and Wales only.The new measures would also give police more time to collect enough evidence to enable successful prosecutions to be brought.

Luiz 4,253 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 the UK is very influential though arent they? wouldnt be surprised if this became a normal thing soon. people are taking this internet bullying **** so seriously these days. i'd like people to have thicker skin on the internet but some people just dont have it and never will so maybe there should be some kind of law like this in place for severe cyber bullying cases. the law has to be written very carefully though I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it.

Goosey 3,017 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 This is already a thing, one kid was arrested for making offensive comments about soldiers, another man was arrested for making jokes about Madeliene McCann. The UK is out of control these days! Do they not have a right to free speech or something? I will stay here and continue making all the comments I please tyvm!
