SAY HELLO TO OUR STRUGGLING TEENS TROLL
Troll Control:
You're just spinning your wheels again. You are equating this behavior with a threat to kill the president? I think everyone knows it's a federal felony to threaten to assassinate the president. That's simply NOT WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT and not at all germane to the matter at hand.
There are no increased efforts to censor free speech on the internet. You have it exactly backwards. I work in IT and am well abreast of the law in that area. You obviously are not.
Let me reiterate: there has been no crime committed here. EVEN IF THERE WERE, you'd be unlikely to find a prosecutor to take the case. Even then, if you did, you'd be hard pressed to prove that the poster's motive was to bring PHYSICAL HARM by proxy to the the alleged "victim."
I never made any blanket statement about any international law. Where did you read anything like that in my post? I simply said good luck in getting records subpoenaed from another country when, at best, it would be a very low-level misdemeanor IN THIS COUNTRY.
You couldn't even get your OWN ISP's logs subpeonaed with this as "evidence," much less get international cooperation.
What you fail to see in your terrible and baseless argument is that the laws of the UK or Canada don't apply here. Last I checked we don't enforce UK telecomminications law in the U.S. of A. now do we?
If you live in the UK and so does the "perpetrator," then bully for you. Have a go at it. If you live here and they live there, or even if their ISP is there-good luck. You'll need it.
You're living in a fantasy world where congressmen get involved in people's personal lives. Get a grip already.

What are you smoking, lady? :smokin:

To others who want to take action against cyberbullies: there are indeed congressmen who involve themselves in pushing these kinds of cases due to a perception that the law must catch up with the technology in order to protect Americans. These reps can be located fairly easily by internet search on the pertinent subject
As well, remember that for tort relief (civil, not criminal court), it doesn't have to be either a crime or a physical threat:emotional distress is enough.
Wish you the best--in my experience at least, if you fight for your rights, you'll do alright. Got to go now, and good luck to you

Well said Dysfunction Junction :wink: (Notice the use of the emoticons) :lol:
This whole thread is ridiculous. No one is going to be jailed for posting a phone number. The jails are over crowded already and I seriously doubt a posting is enough to get some "pain and suffering" money from a civil suit.
The parents come over here from ST and say vulgar and cruel things as anons and once they get a dose of their own medicine all of a sudden we're all bitter and nuts over here.
Really, shouldn't these parents be doing something to repair their relationships w/ their kids instead of trolling? Shit (yes 4 letter word) I bet the majority of them are in their 40s doing this crap.
