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.

Theresa Mao

On a more serious note, he abuse some receive is shocking, but I'm a bit iffy about criminalization, except perhaps in the most extreme of circumstances. The police are struggling to deal with more serious crimes as it is. I'm of the view that we should be locking up as few people as possible anyway.

This is in the early stages and may not go anywhere, but I wouldn't be surprised if it did.

Yes.

There's a whole bunch of porn that is now "illegal" to create in the UK.

However how that is enforced is anyone's guess. I think that was just grandstanding

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.rt.com/uk/406467-hate-crime-twitter-troll/amp/

To be fair to the UK police, I actually looked into when these stories were breaking a year or so again and these claims are mostly bullshit and exaggerated.

A lot of the people being "investigated for online hate speech" are actually being investigated for links to radical groups or in connection with violent crimes. And frequently net results or prevent crimes.

It's not that people are being questioned for calling workmates poopyhead on facebook. They're being questioned for saying they're going to set fire to a church or at least supporting people who are. A lot of people are trying very hard to downplay that and make it seem like they are being much more unreasonable than they really are.

Go to pretty much any big name UK politian or figure's social media and you'll find plenty of untouched aggressive insults and hate that confirm this.

The title of your own weblink says it all, Question More.

Flaming can be trolling

As far as I am concerned:

Trolling is attempting to annoy or offend other people online.

Flaming is insulting other people online.

As a result flaming can easily be trolling, in fact usually is.

Erm, this topic hasn't raised a point beyond the UK Government considering new laws.

It's not offered an opinion on anything.

And I wasn't arguing with anyone....

I'm guessing you didn't read any of it and just want some attention so here you go

I disagree.

Trolling can be cruel and malicious. Trolling can push people to suicide and never involve a single direct insult.
