Unless you can show any proof of that, it's still just your perception.

Re: Ban racists from social media, anti-Semitism report says.
It's fact- believe it or not, you don't actually know everything.
I don't care enough to do your donkey work for you- i'm pretty sure that the verification that you require will be available on the internet. |

Erm.....
Basic debating courtesy - you put forward a proposition, you back it up..... |

I could tell everyone you have a conviction for fraud (I do not believe you have such by the way). Unless I can back it up with evidence it's just a perception. As Hugh says if you put forward a premise it's up to you to prove it, not for others to disprove. |

This can (and will) be abused by some people. Also, there is the slight problem of enforceability. Without the security services devoting a huge amount of resources to monitoring potentially thousands of people, how will we know that a person who has just had some sort of order banning their online access given to them, hasn't just left the court, gone into an internet cafe (there are still some around), paid cash for 15 minutes of access and registered a whole load of other accounts to send abuse from? |

Interestingly, Lenny Henry is still calling for 'positive discrimination' to get more blacks onto television. I think that there's enough and that it's a fair representation of the population as a whole. Disabled people make up 16% of the population, yet get only 2.5% of TV acting and presenting jobs. Fourteen of the last twenty seven Best Actor Oscar winners played someone with a disability, yet none of them were actually disabled. Breaking Bad was the exception rather than the rule, in that an actor with Cerebral Palsy actually played the part of someone with Cerebral Palsy. Getting back to the crux of my point, i'm curious to know why racism is taken more seriously by society than other forms of discrimination. For example, it was made an offence to 'incite racial hatred'. No such provision was made with regards to gay people, those suffering from a disability, women etc. |

Sometimes they do this covertly by using a non police registered ip address- lawyers are questioning the use of legislation regarding covert operations and this practice. Also, lawyers are arguing that views expressed that are not intended for public consumption (even if they are accessible to the public) should not be treated as such. A blog is defined as being intended for public consumption, whereas they argue that a facebook comment isn't (even if the persons privacy settings do allow the public to access to the material). |

This is why I never disclosed online who I worked for, far too much potential for unwarranted hassle. |

Before you say that people wouldn't come on a forum claiming to know something they don't, or claiming to do some job they don't, I've actually seen people do both, on this forum. On one occasion, in the same post. I'm not saying you don't do what you say for a living, I have no way of knowing, beyond what you say. BTW, I'm not a multi billionaire venture capitalist. I wish I was a multi billionaire, but have no interest in being a venture capitalist. |

I have had to deal with inappropriate facebook postings from both current and former employees. It's staggering how many are genuinely shocked that they can't post anything that floats into their mind because "it's their facebook wall"!! They seem to think that the laws relating to libel etc disappeared the day the internet was invented. Also, they fail to realise that some comments, whilst not against the law, are still inappropriate and can lead to disciplinary action. Many employers now insist that employees declare all social networking sites that they are a member of and the relevant passwords to them. It is against facebook t&c's to disclose your password to a third party; but most people prefer to do this as opposed to losing a job or not getting the job in the first place. |
