The end of trolls

So a few bills have been passed lately that will cause people lots of grief.

In the UK USA and Canada. . . Laws are being passed to mark the end of the "I can say what ever on the internet".

I am 50/50 on this. . Yes people do go way too far with internet trolling sometimes but sometimes poking people is just fun.

But no it doesn't matter too much for if you go past the line from poke to hate crime. . . It don't matter where you live. (The "I don't live in a country where these laws don't apply so I can say I want you dead" will not apply if the UN deems these new anti-bully campaigns worthy of enforcement).

That being said over the past two weeks around 45 people have been charged with trolling on fourms. . . 5 people sent to jail over harassment on twitter ( many more to come)

In Canada and UK laws have been passed so that as soon as you are on the internet the law can find your location if you commit a crime (don't think that's true look at the huge internet child pornography bust that just happened 600 people).

Anyhoo, just a heads up. It is now the time to take care of what you say to whom for, in Canada and the UK you are now liable for what you say online as much to face to face now. Some of us read the news some of us don't. . . In Canada this is up to hate crimes . . . in the UK with criminal intent. . in The US what ever the lawyers will back :P.

This bill is being passed in Canada today( the VPN thing has been up for a while) which is why I say.
