lil-minx92 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Excellent point. The internet and the development of social media is developing faster than our social reasoning can handle. Just as an example, twenty years ago hardcore pornography was not even top shelf stuff, you simply couldn't access it unless you got on a ferry to Amsterdam. Now it's something our children can view easily with little in the way of moderation and we've yet to see the outcome of that exposure as they become adults. On the face of it the sentence appears excessive but legislators have to be robust against the use of the internet in this way otherwise we'll find the ultimate knee jerk reaction will be restrictions by the government placed on sites we can visit and the kind of content we can view. We have to be responsible in how we use our freedoms otherwise someone in jackboots will arrive and restrict them. You're suggesting there's going to be an outcome? The outcome in Holland resulting from over 20 yrs hardcore porn viewing must be happening now. Whats going on over there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drone Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 But you're missing the point the poster made..what would you do if he arrived at the funeral of your loved ones shouting offensive abuse? There'd probably be a riot wouldn't there? The offender in the OP had already been visited at home by an angry mob, without censure there would be a free for all in terms of breaches of the peace. Your missing the point Facebook in the long term is worthless!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did not turn up at the funeral and he was mobbed in Lancashire - I wonder how many of those are friends and family of those involved, rather than random busy bodies threatening to attack people? If someone turned up at a funeral of loved ones I am sure they might get attacked. Thats not really a reason to say people should be restricted in what they can say on the internet.

Rupert_Baehr Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I had a Facebook account once. In another name. Somebody (I've no idea who) hacked it and caused both me and my family considerable distress. Facebook weren't interested. If any judge - anywhere - can identify the person who caused me those problems, then should that judge send him ti prison I would be well pleased. Should the judge see fit to name the person then I would be even happier. Should I find out which prison he was in and when (s)he was coming out, then I would be happier still. Because I would kick his (or her) arse into the next century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
