SnailyBoy Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Stan Collymore has been doing the rounds reporting the shocking level of abuse he recieves on Twitter. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-25838114 As he mentioned on the radio this morning if someone said the things directly to him in the street they would be arrested. Should Twitter be more active with the police and identifying the perpatrators when dealing with abusive messages (which included racist comments and death threats)?

hagrid Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I'm sure if the Government closed down the Twitter Web Site due to these racist posts along with the other offensive content the people who own Twitter would be breaking their necks to put controls in place. Because they would lose millions of ill gotten gains Same for all the chat sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Hans Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Yes. Grown adults calling the police about people being mean on the internet? Jesus Christ, it's so pathetic. It's usually some washed up, attention seeking celebrity who goes on to sell the story of their 'horror abuse'. If every average person reported incidents of online abuse to the police, the police would go into meltdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Sticks and stones and all that. He's not forced to use it. Anyone who thinks 'victims' are entitled to police trawling the net looking for attention seekers had better be prepared to pay for it. It will require tax increases to take the job on. No? It will require actual crimes being downgraded so people sticking their tongues out can be hunted down.

Interesting to know how you came to that conclusion How about Caroline Criado-Perez, did she deserve it for campaining to have a woman on the back of the £10 note? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-24160004 ---------- Post added 22-01-2014 at 13:27 ---------- No. Sticks and stones and all that.
