There's zero need for new legislation. Stalking and harassing online is well within the reach of current laws.
afaik the legislation just raises the maximum jail term to 2 years.
(note i dont give a crap about any right you think you have to be anon and abuse people neither do i really care for the other side im just posting why i think they are making the decision)
As for anonymity being a pillar of democracy sure your votes are anonymous but why do you think you have a right to say whatever you want to whoever you want anonymously? That has never been a major part of our culture afaik. Me and Heskey seem to have differing views on stuff but like normal people we can post and discuss them without making new secret accounts to threaten each others families ^^
Anyway its not like they are cracking down on random trolls or 99.9% of retards who use fake names on twitter so they can post opinions they are ashamed of
. They are not going to go "ooh leshma and oberyn are mean to each other arrest them"
Most of the people who have been targeted by the police have been long term stalker style abusers, If they had been sending threatening or stalkerish phone msgs the police would become involved too, Sure the police will make mistakes or go over zealous sometimes but that's why we have defence lawyers, the internet isn't some hallowed ground where anything goes. Hell Sky news confronted one women and she committed suicide because people found out the kind of sick shit she was saying.
If you cant put your name to your words and opinions then they are worthless. I will stand by my opinions on Europe etc if asked what i wont do is make a new account on a website to say them because i fear what people will think about me
Not that i care either way tbh it wouldn't bother me if some coward was trying to threaten me online and im not fighting for a side im just explaining the decision
. liberal and pc tards are already trying to suck any kind of humour out of life with their screams of racism and sexism at every opportunity and id rather they focused on this <3
