| Jailed Twitter troll speaks of regret |
| Rachel Burden has been speaking to Isabella Sorley, who was jailed after posting abusive messages on Twitter but now wants to warn other young people not to follow in her footsteps. |
If I lived in the UK, just alone from the posts I've made on this site, I'd spend the rest of my life in prison. Yet, enough isn't being done. Harsher sentences will need to applied more often, according to the video. I still can't believe that this is an actual thing. Though, I do have the slight suspicion that the person that was "sentenced" was simply a pawn in much larger scheme.
>living in the UK
>"hate speech is not free speech"
User was warned for this post. |

A google search is far from a source, and the only site that states what you claim is a translated source from the most racist site in sweden. |

Dont have time to read them all atm but atleast three of those sites seem to be racist propaganda. Also cant find any mention of it being illegal to criticise immigration policy. |

If by new you meant more then 60 years old, then yea its a new law. And if by "criticise immigration policy" you meant hate speech, then you are totally correct dogmeat. |

the possibility that you can go to jail for writing something on the internet seemed unreal to me
This is exactly the same as written press censorship, yet gets a pass because it's against "onine racism/bulliying/whatever" |

yeah if the top google search is from thenewamerican.com then I am kind of skeptical
for those that dont know thenewamerican.com is a media arm of the John Birch Society which is an extremely conservative american political movement that was founded as an anti-communist organization during the height of the cold war.
they opposed civil rights legislation in the 60s so i think its particularly funny that their arguing for more "freedom" today. |

I honestly think that censorship of any kind is morally wrong. Feminazi blogs against men are censored aswell I suppose? |

I think some things should be censored, but there should be a high bar.
I dont agree with the idea that people should be able to say/post whatever they want completely regardless of content.
otherwise you can shout fire in a crowded theater and cause a stampede, post videos of animal torture, etc, etc. all that "speech" should be censored imo.
political speech should be protected though. |

this is why people need to go back to using the internet the way it was meant to be used; anonymously.
stop linking all your accounts and crap and posts and crap to your real life identity especially if you are doing dirt or apparently even "trolling".
although I hate how the media uses the term trolling these days. They get it all wrong. Telling someone to go kill themself is not really trolling its just a threat or shit talking. Trolling someone is to be putting something by them or over their head etc. |

Media fails at understanding what "troll" means. A person that wishes you get cancer and blah blah isnt a troll, he s a retard :/ |

Having thoughts, soon to be a crime. Shit like people getting fired over tweets and fb posts are ridiculous, ISIS facebook pages "death to america" though, nah it's the CIA, fake or they're allowed to do that because they hate us for being the war machine.
