Director of public prosecutions announces plans for more prosecutions and stiffer sentences for online abusers
Prosecutors will be ordered to treat online hate crime as seriously as offences carried out face to face in plans announced by the director of public prosecutions.
Alison Saunders said the Crown Prosecution Service will seek stiffer penalties for abuse on Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms.
Saunders says the crackdown is needed because online abuse can lead to the sort of extremist hate seen in Charlottesville in the United States last weekend, which left one person dead.
Writing in the Guardian, Saunders said: “Left unchallenged, even low-level offending can subsequently fuel the kind of dangerous hostility that has been plastered across our media in recent days. That is why countering it is a priority for the CPS.

Don’t question the govt handling of Muslim rape gangs, you will be prosecuted for “hate crime” !!!!!
On a tagline coming to your forum soon.
This is a case of dangerously naive, foolish, authoritarian liberals in the UK, who can’t see many obvious signs of a false flag operation in Charlottesville. I wouldn’t want to live in the UK or Canada now, as fascist, authoritarian government officials invent imaginary thought crimes and ruthlessly suppress freedom of speech.
Hey Jeff, that’s good, ... real good!
That’s brilliant.

Crap, I thought my taghline was good, yours is better :(
Typing words is now a crime, if the gestapo thinks you should not be typing them.
Thank God for the 1st.
Muzzie collaborator Alison Saunders will accomplish one positive consequence with her disloyalty, the view will improve with her in a burka:
True. They can still try and get you fired though, that is the loophole liberals like to use.
But when it comes to free speech they are going to have a hard time getting around the 1st amendment. Doesn't mean they won't try though. These totalitarians never give up.
Saunders says the crackdown is needed because...
You can’t be a dictator leader without controlling speech- free speech is antithetical to absolute power- free speech empowers the people- and free speech ensures that governments do NOT have the ability to control expressions and thoughts-
For a minute there I thought the article was about the US’s government- and couldn’t believe what I was reading- then I noticed it was the UK- then I thought this IS coming here- especially if a democrat wins the next few elections- We are one or two democrat presidents away from losing our constitutional protections
The U.K. is just further down the road.
islam is a totalitarian death cult founded by a child rapist.
If that isn’t the face, and the ass as well, of tyranny, then I don’t know what would be.
