Serendipity 7,821 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Internet trolls who create derogatory hashtags or post humiliating photoshopped images could face jail, the country's most senior prosecutor has warned. Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders said: "Social media can be used to educate, entertain and enlighten, but there are also people who use it to bully, intimidate and harass. "Ignorance is not a defence and perceived anonymity is not an escape. Those who commit these acts, or encourage others to do the same, can and will be prosecuted." Creating a hashtag to encourage an online harassment campaign, or pushing for retweets of a "grossly offensive message" are given as examples of unacceptable behaviour. Other examples of outlawed practices set out in the guidance include publishing an individual's home address or bank details on the internet, dubbed doxxing. Baiting - when someone is humiliated online by being branded sexually promiscuous - is also mentioned in the guidance, as is posting "disturbing or sinister" photoshopped images of someone on a social media site. http://news.sky.com/story/trolls-could-face-jail-under-new-legal-guidelines-10611929?dcmp=snt-sf-twitter See talent here-->http://bit.ly/2eqeUxK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
