Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.

This is an interesting link, as somebody tried to run a site with no restrictions on what people were able to say. The result was a tirade of anti semantic, homophobic etc abuse and death threats:

https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/indep...1_20181109_4_2

It was effectively shut down as payment providers PayPal & Stripe withdrew support, as did the domain owner Go Daddy and server host Joyent.

I agree with the author when he says that free speech is not hate speech and that people should be free to converse, express, debate and discuss, but not to abuse, demonise and vilify others in the process.
