Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
I am utterly sick of this thread.It's so confrontational and doesn't actually serve any real purpose except to wind people up.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
I wonder how many people that say they have a mental health issue or problem but have never seen a Doctor or been diagnosed.

Well, these days, having a mental health problem is a nice excuse for getting all sorts of privileges.
Boris should try it to break free of partygate!

It is the new bad back, I bet there are some companies who are terrified about sacking someone who MIGHT be using mental health as an excuse to have long periods of time off work. There is always going to be a need to support those with real issues but i also think there will be those playing the game.

You may have a point…
Quote:
Antisocial personality disorder, sometimes called sociopathy, is a mental disorder in which a person consistently shows no regard for right and wrong and ignores the rights and feelings of others.
People with antisocial personality disorder tend to antagonize, manipulate or treat others harshly or with callous indifference. They show no guilt or remorse for their behavior.
Individuals with antisocial personality disorder often violate the law, becoming criminals. They may lie, behave violently or impulsively, and have problems with drug and alcohol use. Because of these characteristics, people with this disorder typically can't fulfill responsibilities related to family, work or school.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
The forthcoming Online Safety Bill was discussed on the Radio 4 programme 'Woman's Hour' this morning:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0016h9c
To summarise:
Their political correspondence from Westminster Mark Darcy described it as a massive bill that is now starting to make its way through Parliament. He went on to say that it will cover a wide variety of user generated content, such as inciting or threatening violence, hate crime against those in the protected groups eg disabled, black, LGBT+ people, financial crime, scams, protection of children from harmful material, cyber flashing, posting material that triggers epileptic fits etc.
It was described as groundbreaking and evolving all the time and is being designed to easily add further measures, so has been described as the framework into which other furniture can be added as and when required.
There will be very heavy financial penalties for the owners or managers of user generated content websites. Non compliance could see individuals personally fined or have criminal charges brought against them.
Nadine Dorries says that she has an acute understanding of how inappropriate behaviour affects people, as she used to be the health minister in charge of mental health issues and is keen to put a stop to bad behaviour on the internet where it causes devastating mental health problems. MP's said they found it very difficult to listen to the parents of a 14 year old girl who had committed suicide because of what other people on the internet had been saying to her.
Restrictions will also be made on whats been called 'legal free speech' that may be theoretically legal but is, nevertheless, harmful behaviour eg encouraging suicide, encouraging people not to eat, encouraging them to access illegal pornography.
There have now been calls by people, including Carol Voderman and Carherine Allen, for the Metaverse/Virtual Reality (VR) to be specifically written into the final law as, for example, children have been approached by adults to provide an embodied experience of a sexual nature, minorities have been subject to insults & harassment etc. In the future it's expected that people will spend up to ten years of their life in a VR environment.
When it was stated that some people disagreed with the Bill, the response was that some people actually tried to push back on the legislation to make online grooming of children an offence.

So basically its a complete disaster that will cause way more issues than it ever solves, from a ever more controlling super nanny state.
Why are their "protected" groups (black, LGBT, etc) - what about everyone else ? Dont they matter ?
Yep, just more discrimination, do these morons really not understand what fuels hatred ? - its ok to hate white people (or anyone not black, so bad luck all you Asians as well) or to hate hetrosexual people.
As for "posting material that triggers epileptic fits" ? seriously, what fracking planet are these idiots on.
Whats next posting material that trigger "fits" of laughter

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
So much for discussions, then. And as for arguments, don’t even think about it….
The whole thing sounds like a total disaster and needs to be thrown out. I hope common sense prevails.

A crime against anybody in one of the protected groups is classed as a hate crime if it is borne out of hatred, discrimination etc.
Some idiots have been deliberately posting things on the internet or even sending things directly to known sufferers of epilepsy that triggers epileptic fits.

So you completely missed the point then.

Um .... ok.
You realise that this forum (and pretty much every site ever) consists of people "deliberately posting things".

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
You could tell the world was heading down the plug hole when they put the 'this product may contain nuts' warning on packets of nuts.
too many do-gooders with no common sense.
Oh, apologies to anyone who may be offended by reading this post. I've tried to blend the background and text colour to avoid any harm or injury - whether physical or mental.
I've also tried many things but am still unable to get braille to work on the internet, perhaps the Government and those 'special' busybodies need to look into this absolute disgrace at the lack of thought for those who are blind.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
That’s what Screen Readers and Braille Displays are for…
https://www.rnib.org.uk/sight-loss-a...and-notetakers
(amongst the many things developed and implemented by those ‘special’ busybodies to try and help those with issues/challenges to have an even chance of enjoying the same things those without issues/challenges take for granted)

I have a friend who would say they hate their neighbour because he's (to use my friend's words) a knob. So you're saying my friend couldn't be accused of a hate crime dispute admitting the deep hatred he has because you have to be in a protected group and being a knob isn't protected??
What a strange world we live in.
