People have been arrested for years because of things they've done on twitter. Leon Knight had his collar felt last year because of his #slagalert thing where he encouraged people to send him pics that girlfriends/casual encounters had sent them, so that he could 'shame' them by showing them to all of his followers. I don't think that was the first time either.

What annoys me is how they've arrested this guy for bothering a politician, but the people responsible for the girls suicide through last.fm are apparently untraceable. Which quite frankly, is bollocks.

They can try all they like but they will never, ever, ever fully regulate the internet. It's impossible.

What they should do is make it so that nobody under 18 is allowed to use it by themselves. Anybody found doing so, will have their parents/guardians brought to book.
