Twitter Vs...

[Chris in London]

You and I know that this simply won't happen - the courts of every country in the world would have a backlog of cases that would never be heard, and the legal system would grind to a halt if everyone with a legitimate or perceived grievance sought justice in this way.
How many hundreds of thousands of folk do you think are threatened on the web every day?
I always aim for double figures myself, but some folk are even more prolific.
You would need thousands of moderators working 24/7 to keep a lid on things, and tracking offending folk down would prove to be a logistical nightmare.
Fake Facebook and Twitter accounts are ten a penny, and what about folk who use a shared computer, or use those in libraries or schools?
Ridding the internet of racism and hatred is a most laudable aim, but utterly impossible to achieve in the real world.

But a few keywords get flagged and the people using these are banned - i bet its not that difficult.

I've never found it that difficult getting banned at all - it's staying online that I find problematical.
Even keywords present problems - I read an article the other day about how paedophiles on the internet have effectively created buzzwords to conceal their actual content and purpose, so that they fly under any moderators radar, and communicate unhampered and undetected, as nobody other than fellow nonces clock it.

I suppose you need neither O levels nor A levels to understand that there are code words on the internet

I didn't realise they were real Trolls from under a bridge

These twitter trolls must have 0 self respect. What do they get out of abusing people from behind keyboards?

Sad really.

Whilst I do not condone anything Collymore has done(as he readily admits to), regarding Ulrika J, the actual events are her words against his, if they were in private. A picture with a pointy finger has lots of connotations and is ambiguous enough to make Collymore look a cnut in that moment of time... if you're stupid enough to frame it with the written accusations next to it.

He could be saying "You look fooking beautiful tonight, love!" as she's looking all smiley. Now what?? It's hardly a Saatchi moment with a hand around the neck of his 'loved one', is it??

Hasn't Collymore got witnesses for any public 'misdemeanours', anyway...?

 

[dazdon]

A bit of publicity for Ulrika seeing as she's been out of the limelight for a few years.

Morally stan is an arse but I think she's an arse too...they were well suited.

But legally he's right and after the jailing today of two super texters his position is strengthened.

Normally functioning people would not call someone a Black C*** and threaten to come round to his house and kill him...it's obscene and uncalled for.

I agree mate.
It's an utterly disproportionate overreaction.
I'd have left the word 'black' out.

 

[Banned Tosspot]

If you can't handle it, stay off the Internet.

Collymore, average footballer, shit pundit, terrible partner so he kind of deserves some shit thrown at him.

Call him a **** and move on.
