I guess banning trolls isn't enough anymore? Gotta hunt them down in real life and charge them to the fullest extent of the law.

Kind of stupid in my opinion.

Now on the other hand, running a spam service is justifiably an asshole thing to do and thats the type of thing that should be focused on rather than bbc's sensationalist header.

You did read the article right?
[QUOTE]According to the court documents, [B]Mr Apple runs a service that lets people send lots of junk messages or spam as email messages or as comments to other messaging systems.[/B]

The criminal charge of mischief emerged from work Twitch did to find out who was behind the 2017 spamming surge. About 1,000 Twitch streamers were hit in the attack which disrupted broadcasts.

At its peak, said Twitch in its court filings, [B]chat channels were getting hit by up to 600 messages per minute.[/B][/QUOTE]

I mean it is pretty in focus if you ask me.
