Who really seem to be unstoppable are those numerous "New Arrivals" to USMB (Lisitsyn, Amigo, Jack London) who have been posting basically the same message about "Russian trolls" the same day they all joined USMB for a few days in a row (Thursday, Friday, Saturday). They multiply like rabbits and now another one, Mike Bredsbey (the author of this wonderful thread), has arrived and posted his very first message about "Russian trolls" today. Somebody must have been breeding them, we need to find the nest. It would be just funny if it were not so annoying...

What do you mean here? You personally post the same answer to my two different threads. You know something at trolling. Tell us.
Do not be afraid to be a good detective.

Victim of online trolling? Fight back with offline laws
Oct 10, 2015, Contrary to what many believe, it is possible to punish trolls using existing provisions of the law. Web users need to stop suffering in silence, say experts:

India may soon see the first high profile arrest of an internet troll. On the complaint of a woman television journalist, Delhi Police registered an FIR in June this year against a conspicuous though anonymous Twitter handle. Swati Chaturvedi alleged the handle belonged to a senior journalist who heaped sexual abuse on her and harassed her online, goading his 40,000 odd followers also to troll her. Unlike other victims who either wind up their account or block abusers, the journalist lodged a case under the IPC for stalking, defamation, and outraging the modesty of a woman. Its effect was instant -- the handle disappeared and the offensive tweets were deleted.

Though the abuser remains free, police sources indicate they have zeroed in on his identity. The delay in arrest and prosecution of such cases remains the central challenge for the Indian legal framework when it deals with online abuse through laws that are basically aimed at offline crimes. Social media has given people a platform to air their views but it has also left them vulnerable to slander, character assassination, intimidation and defamation. Supreme Court lawyer Virag Gupta blames the brazenness of trolls on the high threshold of tolerance among web users. "A troll is a person who sows discord on the internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous or off-topic content on a newsgroup, forum, chat room or blog with the deliberate intent of online harassment. The ways in which people are harassed include cyber bullying, revenge porn, trolling, virtual mobbing and so on," Gupta explains, adding that these offenders are punishable under the IPC.

Along with former BJP leader K Govindacharya, Gupta has been pushing to make social media sites such as Google and Facebook more accountable to Indian users. In a PIL in Delhi High Court, he has accused them of evading taxes, leaving children exposed to cybercriminals and storing information on servers based abroad. "There are two ways to counter harmful acts committed on social media: New laws or using existing provisions under criminal law. It is not the medium but the behaviour that constitutes an offence. So provisions of the IPC would be attracted even for actions on the internet against the sender of the message and even the platform," Gupta says. Till March this year, the government used Section 66A of the Information Technology Act as the remedy for all online abuse, but the Supreme Court struck it off from the law books. The apex court found the section to be not just "vaguely worded" but also in violation of the Constitution since it criminalized speech on the subjective annoyance of a user. SC further faulted the provision for creating a new offence only on the basis of the medium used for communication.

Saudi woman could be imprisoned for posting online video of her cheating husband
Oct 9, 2015, A Saudi woman, who posted online a footage of her husband making sexual advances to family house maid, might end up in jail for "defamation".

According to reports, the wife used her mobile phone to secretly capture her husband making advances to the female family servant. The video that she later uploaded on YouTube, alongside the caption "the minimal punishment for this husband is to scandalise him", went viral. Since it was posted online, the #SaudiWomanCatchesHusbandCheating hashtag became the top trend and has gathered more than 25,000 mentions in 12 hours.

The footage drew widespread support for the wife, but according to Saudi legal experts it could be the wife who might end up in jail. According to Saudi laws strict punishment is given to anyone that uses mobile phones with camera or other equipment to photograph others and defame them. Saudi Arabia follows a strict version of Islam where women don't enjoy the same rights as men. Women in the kingdom are forbidden to drive vehicles and must have a male family member accompanying them while wearing an all-encompassing body gear when venturing out of their homes.

Saudi's continue to amaze the world with their STUPIDITY. Time for Arabian spring to knock on their door? #SaudiWomanCatchesHusbandCheating
