Esrac posted... publishing offensive material online it bothers me that the UK considers that to be a crime worthy of sending someone to prison Yeah. One one hand, it seems like a massive waste of time and resources. On the other, it's literally imprisoning someone over a harmless joke. No good side to it. Apparently the UK has a Communications Act 2003. This act define illegal communications as “using public electronic communications network in order to cause annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety”. Breaking this law carries a six-month prison term or fine of up to £5,000. Imagine going to jail for half a year because you were shitposting and trolling on the internet. Not even making toothless death threats, just making jokes. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/arrests-for-offensive-facebook-and-twitter-posts-soar-in-london-a7064246.html --- http://steamcommunity.com/id/Esrac <cite>Esrac posted [p:882092897] in YouTuber a...
