Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
TikTok star with spinal muscular atrophy talks about her online trolls:
https://londondaily.com/the-tiktok-s...y-myths-online
Do those who advocate complete and utter freedom of speech believe that this young woman should have to put up with this on top of everything else that she has to cope with, just so that others can amuse themselves?

For you to twist that into the narrative “you” are trying to push onto is us wholly disingenuous.
For someone who claims to be cognitively impaired, your showing very acute cognitive skills…..just saying.

And what expertise do you have to offer on the effects of a brain injury? If none, I provided a link the other day.
If you are able to remotely diagnose somebody without any training, I imagine that the NHS would snap you up.
Do you think that this young woman should have to put up with online trolls just so that the likes of you can have your free speech free for all?

I don’t agree with you often but that’s the bullseye of the nail on the head.

I’d say not.
This thread began 5 years ago and I’m not aware of any attitudes significantly changing in that time.

Indeed, although there has been a significant rise in the 'dragging up' of things from many years ago, which probably makes it look like there's a difference
oh, and comedy isn't funny anymore . .

You only have to look at the tragic case of Caroline Flack to see little, if indeed anything has changed in the last 5 years.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
I had to look that one up and I'm still confused.
Her death doesnt seem related to anything online ?
She was arrested for assulting her boyfriend.
Quote:
On 13 December 2019, Flack was charged with assaulting her boyfriend, the tennis player Lewis Burton, after an incident reported by Burton at her Islington flat the previous morning
|
Quote:
On 6 August, after a two-day hearing, the coroner found that Flack's death was a suicide. She had killed herself after learning she would be prosecuted for allegedly assaulting Burton

She took a brown-stuff storm of abuse online which is believe to have contributed to her suicide.
Surely the #BeKind campaign didn’t pass you by?

Anything with a # tag will totally bypass me.
I have no time or tolerance for so called social media.
The only thing I ever look at (about once a week) is Fakebook.
Its where a few friends and family post pictures, Im usually done inside 5 minutes.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
It was a huge thing at the time and the ramifications are still being felt today by some.
Given how much abuse she received it’s plain to see all these initiatives, statements and ideas etc that keep being linked to in this thread have had minimal if any effect.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
So ..
Quote:
online trolls were urged to consider the impact of their words, and media outlets were begged to rethink the way they cover – and, sometimes, condemn – celebrities
|
Did anyone seriously think that was going to work ?
Quote:
the majority of it was also shown to take place on mainstream social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
|
So why does no one ever suggest the most obvious - dont use them ?
Just disable your account, or make it private (if such an option exists).

I doubt it - a lot of people and companies felt they had to do/say something.
This sort of thing is exactly why another 5 years of this thread won’t change anything. Not suggesting nothing is done, I just can’t be bothered with a change of policy, campaigns etc just for the sake of being seen to do something, which is what I see the vast majority of the new links in this thread to be.

It’s not always that easy for everyone. Some peoples’ jobs involve a social media presence for example.
