I miss the internet where anonymity still existed, where one wouldn't get jail time for cyber bullying. If you can't handle the internet, please don't use it. I'm sure this guy is a real jerk.... but what has the interwebs become?

It's not freedom of speech. It's harassment and abuse.

"where internet users deliberately leave abusive and bullying comments on networking sites." Thats not even close to the definition of trolling.

Because making fun of the dead is justified if they had mental disorders. Anyway, there is a limit to this man, trolling is ok if it's in jest and about something trivial, but this is beyond messed up.

I hope Internet thugs will get a least 1 year in jail. There is so much hate, verbal aggression and cyberbullying going on Internet forums and on blogs and other private websites. Internet forums have become **** places to be in.

this guy deserves it. theres so many people on the internet who are literally psychopaths. i always see people especially on youtube who are racist, tell people to kill themselves, and call people ugly for NO reason at all. theyre the kind of people who i usually get in comment fights with because when i see them diss someone for no reason i usually attack them right away, and i try my hardest to at least make them mad but i want them to cringe everytime they log in and see i replied

If I saw him now I'd tell him face to face that he's just a big bad s*** and he's been very mean. I know some people may think that's pretty harsh, but this kind of stuff really makes my ruddy bloody blood boil. It really does.

At first I thought that was ridiculous, but after reading that I think he deserves it. That's actually quite horrible.

That's surprising - though the thing is that there are still millions of trolls worldwide and this is definitely going to happen again and again and again...
Just jailing one troll isn't enough for there are still a million more doing the same thing.

Not sure whether I should take this news seriously in an apathetic fashion or feel ridiculed since he got jailed for abusive language in the net.
If that's the case , they might as well do a sweep and jail every troll on the net :o

I don't think he should have gotten any time. Honestly, what's next? You tell someone that they don't look good in that shirt and they have you arrested for emotional distress? Sure, it was in poor taste, but did he have to go to jail? There's the whole "one girl tried to commit suicide over it" argument, but that was from being wrongfully accused by others. "Yesterday one of his victim's parents hit out at Facebook, calling on the website to do more to tackle the problem after it emerged that one girl wrongly accused by others of posting the messages had attempted suicide." The question is, was it 'his' fault, or the fault of others piss poor judgement?

Invisible_Kid2

I don't know what he posted but it's not below these people to post gore and porn so I can see how it could cause further emotional distress to someone in that situation.
