SOMEHERE IN THE WORLD: Twitter Users Who Told Feminist To Kill Her Herself And Threatened To Rape Her Are Jailed

In an article I wrote in 2012 titled - What You Say On Twitter Can
Now Fetch You A Criminal Liability-A Prison Sentence, I mentioned
that, the next time you push the SEND button on twitter, remember
the law has changed and your tweet can fetch you a ‘gargantuan’
legal problem—including prison sentence.
All around the world, people have this misconception that they can
hide behind their computers and throw out abusive comments on
blogs, twitter and facebook—not knowing that the law has changed
drastically and they can be easily be fished out.
Apart from the fact that you can be sued for defamation for a few
lines of comment you send out through a blog or via twitter/facebook,
you can even be sentenced to prison for what you say on such
platforms.
According to MailOnline;
Two Twitter trolls who abused a high-profile feminist who campaigned
for women to be used on banknotes have been jailed.
Isabella Sorley, 23, and John Nimmo, 25, both told campaigner
Caroline Criado-Perez they wanted her to die in a series of vile
messages.
As he jailed the pair at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, Judge
Howard Riddle said it was ‘hard to imagine more extreme threats’.
Sorley was given 12 weeks behind bars while co-defendant Nimmo
was given eight weeks in prison.
