There are increasing calls for toughening the penalty from online slander victims and others.

Let’s all hope something is actually put into effect. If not, these are just more empty words from an unnamed ‘spokesperson’ and just words on a page that are not attributable to any one person.

If it’s verbal it’s slander, written down it’s libel.

The problem lies in the anonymity allowed on line, require the disclosure of identity in any case of defamation would remedy much of the problem

The trouble they will face is defining "insult." To some, winking is an insult. To others, not being invited to a party is insulting. Chatting non-stop on a long train ride and be insulting to those around you. See where I am going with this?
