Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
One of my carers has just found this on the internet from Citizens Advice, who have produced this easy to read document about the subject of disability discrimination.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
A couple of programmes from a series about the 1990's that has been on Radio 4 this week.
They cover the problems caused by the emergence of the wild west approach to the rise of the internet (the law of the land didn't suddenly disappear on the day the internet was invented) and the consequences of breaking the law: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0016xvj Robert Carlyle takes us back to a time when the internet seemed like a force for good and reveals how that Utopian ideal turned sour. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0016y5m The story of the so-called crypto-wars, the fight for online privacy between the American government and a bunch of internet renegades known as the cypherpunks. |

I see the actual main part of the message flew over your head. Have you ever thought the problem is you and not your disability. |

A few things did spring to mind while I was reading it. Did one of you carers really find it for you - a little voice that often whispers to me is today shouting it smells BS. I'm also surprised you didn't already know about it as part of your crusading armoury. Another thing, it's so similar to another guide they've produced (could even been a find and replace in their favourite text editor) you should have a read of the other guide as it might educate you and stop you falling foul of the law in the future. Here's a link. |

I don't know if it actually is still published but if it is it'll be for historical reference/education and likely prefaced with an explanation as to why it's being published. Probably not for general sale either. I don't think any publishers would touch a modern-day equivalent of Mein Kampf and rightly so. That said quite a lot of things do get published and oftentimes these stories of people getting their book dropped find themselves another publisher. At the moment 'anti-woke' books seem to be a genre of it's own. If you find someone online/on tv railing against being cancelled chances are it's because they have a book or upcoming tour to promote. |
Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
I think we need to revisit exactly what an internet troll is?

There is someone on here who I thought was deeply unpleasant, until it was brought to my attention that he had a learning difficulty and other multiple mental disabilities too. These conditions affect the thought process, perception and the ability to communicate effectively, so this must be taken into account. You have previously declared a disability, but chose not to confirm how this affects you. |
