With the increase of people using social media at some point there has to be a law with what you can and cannot do on it. I have looked around on the internet and I cannot seem to find any rules. There have been loads of cases where people have won against ‘Internet trolls’. Internet Trolls seem to be the people who are the criminals on the internet. On the internet people think there is ‘Freedom of speech’, which now there isn’t with laws in place and people being taken to court over it.
I think with the law now doing this they think they will see a decrease in internet trolls. However I disagree. I think with this new law in place it will encourage Internet trolls to try it and get through the new barrier, it gives them a challenge. With social media websites now can identify the people who do this and unmask this people will trust the websites. This doesn’t mean what most people think it does. The websites can only find an IP address then they will go from there. Only the foolish internet trolls will get found this way. This is because most internet trolls are good at what they do and they will most likely have a fake IP address which will show that they live somewhere like Russia when they really live in England.
Interesting ideas Charlie.
ReplyDeleteA little confused by: 'On the internet people think there is ‘Freedom of speech’, which now there isn’t with laws in place and people being taken to court over it.' Could you clarify please?
Second paragraph also a little clumsy in places - please revisit or we can do it together if you'd like.
Provide evidence throughout - real life cases. This can potentially be used in your exam
