Know your ‘troll’: UK considers law disclosing users` identities
Published: 12 June, 2012, 20:03
British internet users may soon have an opportunity of meeting those who ‘troll’ them face to face. The parliament is considering a legislation making website operators to identify users posting defamatory comments.
The Defamation Bill is going through the second reading on Tuesday. If put through, the legislation will allow users to take legal actions directly against their online abusers.
If a user claims there is defamatory content being posted about him online, instead of taking action against the website, he can ask the website operator to give them the name of the person who posted the remarks.
Within the legislation the defamatory comment is defined as causing or likely causing “serious harm to the reputation of the claimant.”

I never met a troll that I wanted to know, lol. Troll spray to the rescue! Whether you are from the UK, the US, Russia, Japan, ect., I think we as humans can control this online pest problem ourselves. We don't need more big daddy government stepping in to be our saviour while all along what they are really doing is stifling free speech. Just say no to that!!!!
