Internet trolls who target people with abusive material online will face up to two years in jail under Government plans being set out by the Justice Secretary.

Chris Grayling said he was determined to crack down on trolling with harsh punishments because it was leading to "absolute misery for victims".

He said the venom thrown at people over the internet would never be acceptable in real life.
Mr Grayling said it was "terrible" that the model Chloe Madeley recently received rape threats after defending controversial comments made by her mother, Judy Finnigan, about convicted rapist Ched Evans.

Waste of Police time, should be catching real criminals rather than WUMs on the net.

So basically anyone who gets slightly offended by anything will be able to go to the police and attempt to get them done? Don't see it working well tbh

We are letting the weak rule the world.

Fair play to Chloe Madeley for trolling people that she is a model.

It'll just lead to a more thought out means of pish taking, those that were threatening and promising to commit crime (in some cases very serious ones) the law was already there to confront and criminalise such weirdos. (But that bunch werent muslim enough so those laws only ended up being used versus citizens reading about bomb making, travel to Syria and other such serious crime associated 'research').

Obvious joke versus serious threat. And the legal system isn't under enough pressure as it stands. This stupid country is dragged further into the sewer on a minutely basis.
