Hold on. There's Homophobia on the internet?

Bullying is bullshit. (as in, that being a crime). I don't see any crimes other than impersonation here.

Welcome to the Internet. If you can't stand it, turn it off.

LERNiNG 2 INTERNET

[QUOTE=Wolf_Marine;20193820]It appears about 95% of posters on this thread had a knee-jerk reaction instead of actually reading the fucking article. Read the article, you'd see this little line somewhere in it at the top.[/QUOTE] And that means he can't just close the window and call him and ask why his saying all those things? That way he would've found out about the impersonation, too. Oh, wait. I forgot his a pussy who is too afraid to close a chat window.

So I could be charged with identity theft because I used a different alias on facebook instead of my real one? (Real is Don Gibs, FB is Ray Jefferson)

what the article talks about sounds more like identity theft and abuse of that, instead of trolling

I can forsee this "trolling" hotline being trolled until it doesnt exist anymore.

I'll still troll wherever there won't be a record of the trolling happening. For example, somewhere that isn't Facebook, where everyone sees what you are typing.

[QUOTE=Corewarp3;20191055]If you want someone 'cyberbullied' let me know. Free speech no matter what you want to say. There shall be no censorship on my internets![/QUOTE] Unless your in Aussie Land!

Stupid title, it's not trolling, it's bullying. And whether it's in the playground or over the internet is irrelevent.

Proxy through a proxy through a proxy. Have fun getting caught.

Dey' see me trollin' Dey' hatin' Dey' be ringing the troll hotline. T-t-t-troll hotline!

Seriously? He could have reported it on Facebook. He didn't have to call the cops. "Hello, officer? Someone said mean things about me and pretended to be me on the internet! HEEELP!"

Wow....i guess edge of darkness was correct. Everything is illigeal in that state.

QUICK, CALL THE UK! it's a [B]THOUGHT CRIME!!!!![/B]

Problem, Boston?

[B]“The problem is that the cyberbullying law is not put into effect yet.”[/B] [i][highlight]That's because that's like arresting someone for walking up to someone and saying "Fuck you."[/highlight][/i] [editline]07:37AM[/editline] And a school trying to control what kids do on a website like Facebook that they [i]do not own[/i] is like them going into a random cafe where a lot of their students hang out after school and saying, [B]"Okay, kids. Here's what you're allowed to do in this cafe and here's what you aren't allowed to do."[/B] Facebook has its own rules just like the school. The school has no right dictating what students do in a place that they have no jurisdiction in.

[QUOTE=ColinSSX;20191558]Cyber-bullying is bullshit, the kid could've easily walked away from the computer or blocked the other guy. Unless he was being harassed in school where he couldn't just walk away from the problem, it really shouldn't be considered bullying. The kid is a pussy and the mother is a fucking soccer mom, simple as that.[/QUOTE] This, although you're being rated bad reading (not by me) since it also made him isolated in school too. A few things that could have completely changed this situation without the "Emotional Suffering" and "crimes committed" 1: Instead of reacting to it like an idiot, you could do the logical thing and just ignore it. 2: It would also help if people weren't so god damn retarded. It's "completely logical" that someone would make a Facebook and tarnish their own name. 3: When you hear someone talking about it, why not explain to them that it's "Person A", "Person B", and "Person C", that are doing all of this, and point out that NOT NORMAL PERSON WOULD INTENTIONALLY MAKE HIMSELF LOOK BAD. (Unless you're some stupid bitch that loves attention) 4: The main point: WHO GIVES A FUCK IF SOME IDIOTS DON'T LIKE YOU. If there's 300 people in your grade (no matter what grade) that all believe the stupid shitty rumors people spread, then all 300 of them are idiots. You complain about not having friends, but do you want friends that are this god damn stupid?

[QUOTE=Faren;20215660][B]“The problem is that the cyberbullying law is not put into effect yet.”[/B][/QUOTE] I think the real problem is that those soccer moms are so quick to jump on the INTERNETS IS BAD HURR DURF bandwagon that they are calling for cyberbullying to be banned by law when [b]normal, IRL[/b] bullying isn't banned by law. Now I'm not saying that law should be put into effect, I'm just saying they need to get their priorities straight.

Kid got trolled and can't admit it. Also "gay" is such a dumb insult.

[QUOTE=Uncle_Earl;20191053]trolling in facebook sucks. your family and friends can see what you write so......[/QUOTE] What kind of idiot adds their family on facebook. I don't want them knowing everything I do

This shouldn't be a crime. Those kids were feeding the trolls.
