People found guilty of internet “trolling” in Britain could be jailed for up to two years under new government proposals, following a number of high-profile cases of abusive and threatening behavior on Twitter. Justice Secretary Chris Grayling told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: “This is a law to combat cruelty — and marks our determination to take a stand against a baying cyber mob.”
Internet trolls could face up to two years in jail under new laws, Justice Secretary Chris Grayling has said. He told the Mail on Sunday quadrupling the current maximum six-month term showed his determination to “take a stand against a baying cyber-mob”. Mr Grayling was speaking days after TV presenter Chloe Madeley suffered online abuse, which Mr Grayling described as “crude and degrading”. She has welcomed the proposed laws but said social media should be regulated. Under the measures, magistrates could pass serious cases on to crown courts.
