In England they are proposing to crack down on internet bullying after cases of “hate-filled messages on social media, often threatening their targets … messages sent via social media could be a criminal offence if they contain ‘credible threats of violence’ or target an individual in a way that ‘may constitute harassment or stalking.’ ”
The British government wants to amend two existing laws that currently have six-month jail terms for those convicted of internet bullying and cyber stalking to make it a maximum of three years.
This is the latest as countries struggle to keep up with laws concerning the internet.
