trolls to get 2 years hard labour for trolling (link).

"Under the act, it is an offence to send another person a letter or electronic communication that contains an indecent or grossly offensive message, a threat or information which is false and known or believed by the sender to be false."

who decides what is grossly offensive?

sounds more like a charter for shutting down free speech and a way of getting the plebs to stop bothering the VIPs on twitter.

like how grayling also says ppl are saying things online they wouldn't dream of saying face to face.

he doesn't consort with many football fans or fellas doon the pub then.

out of touch. - view external link (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-29678989)

i'd say 'grossly offensive' is far from easy to define tbh.

I've heard of young folk topping themselves after being bullied online, so something needs to be done. there's a troll from another board who has accused me of bad mouthing peoples kids and dead relatives, imo these trolls need to be jailed and removed from the internet.

Sad life comes to this but some people need to be prosecuted .
