Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Too many regimes have hidden or deleted aspects of history they would like to remove. I say that's a dangerous thing to do. Let's try to be better than our forebears but not try to eradicate our history in doing so. We need to make sure it's all seen including the warts. By all means complain and move slavers statues but make sure that they are placed where we can still acknowledge their failings and possibly any good they did. the same can and should be applied to online material.

I totally agree, though I think that there's already plenty of harmful/offensive material on the internet to let future historians know how some misused it at the expense of others!

Probably easier to think that way if you never had a sense of humour that's now been smashed to pieces and buried deep beneath the foundations of the PC empire.

Unlike you I don't find any humour in child sex abuse, the holocaust, homophobia, racism etc.

It doesn't matter, such material shouldn't be on the internet.

In some cases I quite agree, and there are agencies worldwide trying to stop it . . . . and obviously failing due to strange international laws & treaties . . . and the money keeps rolling in

Do you not like cards against humanity? Some pretty shocking stuff in there, it's a hilarious game.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.

There are to many people who are offended on behalf of those that are not offended. I am 60 years of age and can make my own mind up about what does and does not offend me. I know what i need to do to make sure i do not get offended by using the off button or by avoiding stuff. I don't need weak minded social media sheeple making my mind up for me.

I do, it's just that I and others think that some things are out of bounds.

I certainly aren't the thought police and everyone will have their own opinion regardless, because we all have our own private thoughts in this world- it's the public expression of some opinions, remarks, behaviour etc that is the problem.

It's not illegal to eg make racist remarks in ones own home, but it's a different matter if it's done in public.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.

I'm wondering if Richard has read 1984? Just how far does he want Big Brother to go in restricting freedoms? There are places like China and North Korea that heavily restrict their populace access to the internet as it is. That's the danger I want to avoid in my own country. I welcome the freedoms of the internet even if it means that there is material available that I find disgusting or offensive. Also who get's to be arbiter of what's allowed and what's not? Remember that saying of baby and bathwater? it applies to the freedoms of the internet.
