Sorry you feel disappointed, but under the rules being pushed it doesn't matter what you think, the only thing that matters is if someone believes a post contains a hint of abuse or threat.

AIUI, that won't actually be correct. Let's just wait and see what the final legislation actually says.

Well I stand corrected then, however if it's not correct, why do some people rush off to consult solicitors, personal carers, life tutors etc when they read something that they think is . . . abusive, threatening or discriminatory?

Like I said earlier, the thin line is actually a mile wide, depending on your perspective.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.

It depends, it's all relative & contextual.

The new legislation is designed to help and protect allsorts of vulnerable people too, as well as disabled people. Efforts are being made to include measures to prevent people from being scammed. Sites like Facebook are happy to take ad revenue from known scammers!!! Martin Lewis has done a lot of work in this regard as they keep using his image/reputation to lull people into a false sense of security.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.

Singer Billy Eilish reveals that exposure to misogyny and porn made her ill for two months:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc...s-59658663.amp

I myself have suffered ill health because of things i've been exposed to on the internet, so can relate to this. Making site owners have a formal duty of care towards their users is designed to stop others from suffering like this.

Have you tried staying off the internet, look for the little button with off switch symbol and press it, all your internet woes will disappear.

Why am I not surprised.. Did you complain or make a claim against such site?

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.

They could have used a better picture for that 'story'.

Is it supposed to be the sultry look, the superior look, the composed look, or the hurt look?

All I can see is another idiot that looks out of their head on a combination of drugs, alcohol, and celebrity status.

I've also always been under the impression that porn sites have an age verification check . . although I guess if you go looking for them you can probably find some that don't.

Just another waste of space trying to blame others for her own actions. Nothing to do with the failure of site owners, just poor 'life' choices.

Oh My God that's awful . .

It's a good job I'm thick skinned and intelligent enough to see that it's just some strange woman with a 'man' phobia looking for a reaction . . otherwise I'd be tempted to write letters of complaint to my local MP, the Government, the police, and (if I had the number) I'd ring the CEO of twitter

More like Billy Eilish seeks more publicity.

---------- Post added at 18:52 ---------- Previous post was at 18:50 ----------

You should also read it properly.

Quote:
Eilish also discussed a range of other issues in her interview, including dating in the public eye and contracting Covid-19 earlier this year despite being vaccinated.

"I didn't die, and I wasn't gonna die, but that does not take away from how miserable it was. It was terrible," she said, adding she was unwell for almost two months.
The two months refers to her virus infection, nothing to do with porn or anything else.

I did read it to the best of my ability.

As Tommy Cooper said, “Doctor I’ve broken my arm in six places.” Doctor: “Well don’t go to those places”

The answer to offensive/discriminatory behaviour is for said behaviour to be appropriately dealt with.

If a wheelchair user went to a bar and was subject to abuse and offensive behaviour, the answer isn't to tell them not to go to that particular bar.

If the abuse was from a house on the street, the answer isn't for the disabled man to be expected to use another route or put in ear plugs.

This new legislation aims to set out the rules that we must all abide by, or face the consequences. By far, the vast majority of people won't need to make any changes as they already behave properly on the internet.
