Topic	UK government to consider making online trolling illegal.
UnfairRepresent 02/11/18 2:34:06 PM #1:	Online trolling could become a criminal offence, the Government has suggested. Justice Secretary David Gauke said the Government will consider plans during a television interview today. The comments come after Katie Price gave evidence to a Commons committee on the issue after launching a campaign for tougher penalties for social media abuse. Asked about Ms Prices campaign, Mr Gauke told ITVs Peston On Sunday: I think we have to consider that. I mean what we see is some appalling behaviour on social media. Ms Price told the Commons Petitions Committee last week that a line should be drawn between banter and criminal abuse but the law had failed to keep up with the changing use of technology. Her 15-year-old son Harvey who is partially blind, autistic and has Prader-Willi syndrome was targeted on Twitter last year by an unnamed 19-year-old who received a caution from Sussex Police. But Ms Price told MPs that police had been powerless to act in other cases. The TV personality also wants to see the creation of a register of offenders.
