eclipse Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Y'know what happens when you send death threats to others online in the US and are caught? Charges. The title is badly worded, and the article itself teeters back and forth, but if I'm reading the specific examples in the article right, they pertain to stuff that's illegal here, too.

Tryhard Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Err, my bad. I just skimmed. I don't think they know what trolls mean in relation to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansem Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Chloe Madeley received threats from internet trolls last week haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadFighter Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) These trolls are taking it a bit too far. We need to face the fact that most trolls, while annoying, only slightly bruise our insanity. Clearly this type of trolling is unacceptable and should not be allowed under any circumstances.

Mikethfc Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) fucking lol I suppose our version of free speech is very different from the US. Yeah, I've never heard the U.S. lock somebody up for posting jokes on their fb edit forgot to put the link in: If used for threats this could be good, but then they might have to include the Navy SEAL copypasta in that, and it would just get sketchier from there?

Shin Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Oh dear, the UK government's getting some really funny ideas. I might not be able to receive emails for the next 2 years, it'll depend on how the prison wi-fi is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makaze Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Yeah, I've never heard the U.S. lock somebody up for posting jokes on their fb edit forgot to put the link in: If used for threats this could be good, but then they might have to include the Navy SEAL copypasta in that, and it would just get sketchier from there? Several people have been arrested over quoting lyrics on FB in the US. Don't know about doing time for it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) One thought, after reading the links here: "Jailing somebody who has no real motivation or means to commit a crime, even if they talk some nasty shit, (talking some nasty shit is in some occasions a crime already but you know what I mean right) doesn't exactly feel like it hits the sweet spot." Another: "But totally shrugging at death threats (especially when the fuckhead's dumb enough to use a twitter with their own name on it, for pity's sake) needs to go out of style both culturally and legally as fast as possible, and stay out forever."
