[QUOTE]The internet is an amazing place - and it must always be a forum for freedom of speech, a way to give voice to the voiceless, or hold the powerful to account. Every voice matters. Yet some voices are being drowned out by misogyny, racist abuse, bullying or intimidation.

We've heard from teenagers traumatised by online bullying, teachers whose work was affected by online abuse from pupils and parents, people by an onslaught of online racist smears and slurs, from women who received rape threats, or young people humiliated by revenge porn.

Few of us would stand by while this kind of abuse happened to our friends or family in the street. So it's time now to challenge the nature of abuse online.

Because it can affect everyone. The teacher

What's funniest is how quickly it happens: 5 years ago these people didn't know what the word troll even meant in this context, now they are declaring "war" on internet trolls :lol.

Weird. Wikipedia has never insulted me. This documentary channel on Yotuube I like to watch has never said anything offensive to me. Google Maps never hurt my feelings.

There's a huge swath and myriad purposes of potential internet usage that are completely free of trolls.

If the generic, gullible, sensitive, follower masses wanna spend all their internet time on social media, then let em develop some thicker skin. We dont need to call in the police and elected officials. But of course, politicians know this is the kind of emotional SJWing that will appeal to and consume stupid voters, while the complicated issues of economic corruption happen out of sight and out of mind.

Those priorities doe.
