Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.

Instagram have introduced a feature whereby posts are checked by AI. If the post contains hurtful or offensive comments, a "are you sure you want to post this?" message will appear.

I don't think that this will do much to stop those out to cause deliberate upset, but it might stop posts posted in anger.

It also gives them the justification to ban/suspend the poster if enough people complain, as they checked with them before they posted it.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.

So "hurtful or offensive" in who's opinion exactly ?

How can an AI possibly know whats either of these.

Presumably humans teach it based on items that have been accepted widely as hurtful or offensive. There are probably some quick wins.

I think we have been on that merry-go-round already.

Let's hope Boris puts an end to snowflakism in politics. All this political correctness is driving many of us up the wall.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.

Gary Linekar (and others) are to use a new initiative to deal with trolls:

There was also an interesting programme the other day about someone who suffered mental health issues after online bullying:

So they've never heard of "Don't feed the troll" before? Pathetic.

Apparently not.

I mean who would have thought it eh ? block and report trolls, amazing stuff.

Next they will realise they dont have to even read it - or better still, just dont use twitter at all.

Its almost as revolutionary as when people first discovered the TV off button, when programmes they dont like come on.

Sorry, I'm not having answers like these, they're much too honest, straight forward and logical.
Please try again, but this time come up with something so off the wall and ridiculous that it keeps the frenzy going

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.

The Royal College Of Psychiatrists has called on the recently announced independent regulator for online safety to take measures to deal with online abuse, including a mandatory ‘duty of care’ for companies and for the regulator to have enforcement tools to not only issue fines, but also block access to sites and potentially impose liability on individual members of senior management:

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.

More nonsense.

Social media companies should promote and contribute to mental health charities ..
Aside from the fact that contributing to any charity is voluntary, why should they get special attention.
