Re: A twitter jailed for C word on facebook is this erosion of freedom speach?
Good idea and well done!
There are loads of people who spout real hatred anonymously and hitherto didn't believe they'd ever be called to account. These recent cases have proved that, where complaints about extremist views are made by members of the public, the authorities can and will take serious action. I wonder how many people who haven't bothered complaining because they didn't think anything would be done will now change their minds and start reporting this sort of behaviour.
Given the high profile nature of these cases, I'm sure corporations whose official logos are sometimes used by these people without permission will now also be keen to take civil action rather than see their public image tarnished by association.
Interesting times ahead eh....
