Online Trolls
Lets hope we follow suit! Fantastic news from the Federal Government in Australia..................They are introducing the toughest Online Trolling laws in the world
Fines of up to $111,000 for individuals whoabuse, threaten, intimidate, post revenge porn, bully children and over half a million dollars for corporations like Facebook and Twitter, who refuse to take down offensive material or reveal the identities of perpetrators.
A lack of legislation in the online space affects us all – even if you are not online.
The old attitude of "just get off social media" doesn't cut it anymore.
Get the perpetrators off social media.
Congrats and thank you to Erin Molan for being a leading voice in the campaign in Australia.
