Five internet trolls a day convicted in UK as figures show ten-fold increase

Convictions for internet 'trolling' soars under laws that target sending of offensive, indecent or obscene messages, Ministry of Justice figures show



24 May 2015



Convictions for crimes under a law used to prosecute internet "trolls" have increased ten-fold in a decade with five a day, official figures reveal.



Last year, 1,209 people were found guilty of offences under Section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 - equivalent to three every day - compared to 143 in 2004.



The MoJ figures also revealed a similar rise in the number of convictions under the Malicious Communications Act, which states that it is an offence to send a threatening, offensive or indecent letter, electronic communication or article with the intent to cause distress or anxiety.



Last year, 694 individuals - the equivalent of two a day - were found guilty of offences under this Act. This is the highest number for at least a decade and more than 10 times higher than the 64 convictions recorded in 2004.



It is a crime under the Communications Act to send "by means of a public electronic communications network" a message or other material that is "grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character".

The Pink Shirt Day website has great resources to report these trolls in Canada.

I see the racist, anti-Semitic, anti-Roman Catholic, sinophobic, f*cked in the head conspiracy nutcase troll ConanDoyle is still writing about the decade and half old draft of Sidewider recently in his idiotic blog.

The Committee found no evidence of substantial and immediate threat of the sort envisaged in the first Sidewinder draft, no evidence that a threat was being ignored through negligence or design, and no evidence that the Government had not been appropriately warned of substantive threats where such existed. Both CSIS and the RCMP continue to investigate similar threats separately.

Only a racist, sinophobic, antisemitic, twirlybrained, fucked in the head, crap n' drool, cyberbully spammer like Odinson doesn't know that sending sending of offensive, indecent or obscene messages is illegal.

Maybe it is time to contact AdChoice/Google and their advertisers to complain about Shen Li's racial offensive handle to pull the AdChoice and source of revenue to thebluecashew.  I bet the laughing will stop.  It worked on memebee.

Nobody is stopping you Rambo.

[Green_Hornet]

OK.  I will.  The advertisers complained to Facebook when its ad was put next of offensive post.  Facebook had to pull its ads next to offensive posts.

Ads on Facebook dropped after appearing next to offensive posts.  I wonder how the advertisers would feel if their ads was posted under Shen Li's racially offensive signature?
