BBC 1 Panorama : A report on internet trolling by Declan Lawn.

I'm banned from 2 Paris Hilton fansites for abuse.

I'm serious. One message I got from a mod was that I did not appreciate that Paris is "a heavenly gift from god who walks the earth". How in the name of god to you come back at that?

To my shame I am persona non Grata on a Micheal Jackson site, I only went to look but some of the comments from fans about possible victims just cried out for an answer. Funnily enough it turned out I was also unaware of his heavenly goodness.
That being said the sort of waster like the man from Cardiff who goes to peoples RIP sites, Can you get any lower on the net?

Did you ever happen to bump into Tomas Mor here?

Interesting report on trolling and its more serious consequences has just finished on BBC 1. It should be on iPlayer very soon, for anyone interested, though I'm not sure if BBC's iPlayer works outside the UK. Can anyone confirm if this is so?
Amusingly one of the worst trolls - a waster from Cardiff, was confronted by the cameras, on his way to catch a bus. It was surreal.

There is a Global version of iPlayer. You pay a small annual fee for it. I use it all of the time.

BBC iPlayer doesn't work outside UK. Shame.....

It does. there is an iPlayer Global version. You pay a small monthly charge for it. I use it.

Lots of BBC Documentaries make it onto youtube. You might find it there.

How much?

How much?

I can't recall. But I think about €5 or 6 euro a month.

Just happened to come across this last night and really found it disconcerting.

It is one thing pulling the pi** out of someone, but the stuff done to that Natasha girl both before and after her death (her RIP page attacked days after her suicide) and that Asian student's RIP page were quiet sick.

The scrote that got caught got 9 weeks in jail.
The Welsh wizard has only got a warning when he should be in jail for incitement to hatred.

It is type of sh** that actually will cause people to demand that internet usage is clamped down on.

There are a lot of legal inconsistencies and those need to be addressed. I'm not sure RIP tribute sites on Facebook etc. are a good idea though with malevolent tosspots like the guy from Cardiff running about, at least until they can produce effective laws to curb their activities. However, if anything, sites like Facebook may find that these people pose a threat to their continued success, and I cannot understand why they are so slow to do anything about it. However, as I'm in my late 50's I readily admit that I don't fully understand the dynamics of SN sites. I have no use for them, as few people of my generation including most of my friends bother with them.

There you go a free VPN that will allow you access to bbc iplayer

Didn't seem to load properly for me and I see some of the reviews are not great.
