Australian rickety attempt to ban anonymous twitting


The use of Twitter is still growing nicely, hence the interest in public eyes for him. Announcements and live coverage of demonstrations is traditionally carried out through this medium, and it is interesting that Twitter is not so blindly compliant with the handing over user data judicial authorities as some of its neighbors internet to do this peaceful and oily at the same time charge.



Australians also have some thinking to Twitter on cooperation with police handcuff bold. In fact, just waiting for the right moment - an appropriate incident to rečt - and in September this year, it seemed that they just happen. Until the pair is subsequently returned as a boomerang, head directly to the face.

28-year-old Robbie ragbijašu Farahu in June this year after a long battle with pancreatic cancer unfortunate deceased mother. Three months later, in September, it is then after the defeat of his team one of the fans - @ maxpower118 - specifically earmarked sneaky twit about it (see reconstruction in the picture). Robbie is the (expected) a bit crazy, say a couple of things for the next day (Friday) and a press conference. He said it is high time that this "twitter TROLLE" half and pozapre. While he understands that people love to have this or that joke, even against public exposed persons, but which is too much, it would be too much.

State response has been rapid and remarkable, in fact almost incredible (as if anyone was waiting for a low-start). On the same day he heard which in Twitter premier of the State of New South Wales, Barry O'Farrel, with the announcement of urgency with regulators and police. "It will send a clear message that such behavior is not acceptable", so everyone will know that "if something is not ready to say the addressee in person, in the face, then it has nothing to hide behind twitti and other electronic communications." Similarly, the provincial interior minister Michael Gallacher, who did not forget to add that such claims are no different from the sinister harassment in schools, or. hate speech against minorities under this or that criterion (!), so that it is "necessary to give police and prosecutors have all the powers, that this cowardly clown replace the keyboard for foxes". The Federal Prime Minister Julia Gillard, who immediately announced for next week's meeting of the government on this issue, and Farahu personally promised to be informed of the progress. Do not forget the newspaper The Herald Sun that triggered the return action # StopTheTrolls and as a sort of "media sponsor" to provide additional support.

All it seemed that Australia will significantly tightened their laws against the offender Internet, providers of Web pages is committed to ekpresnemu disclosure violations. For this purpose, the predicted change in telecommunications law, which "should be no longer suitable for modern times". Their ZEKom was already more or less in the procedure, since they are the Edit retention of traffic data, so why Sun

Then .. mid-week rotation. Souporabnica Twitter Farah remembers, it was a bit two-faced, since it was the year before the issue publicly friend replied that Gillardovi prime minister for her 50th birthday gift as "loop" .. to hang up. In other words, in the not so nice way she announced that the country would be better without the position of First Minister, it is in some way "ready". Of course, the matter thought with a thick dose of humor, so the joke, which was subsequently explained by the wave of protests on his twit: "Some people really can not understand jokes.'d Be no relax a bit."

Eh ..

Maxpower118, ie. twitter user, who, with his offensive twittom cooked up the whole story, of course, used a fictional account, as is clear from slikce (anonymous mini-mask), as well as some of his other twittov (when the profile was still available). It was an obvious joke, maybe provocation, even for defamation in importance in the criminal law, but not for hate speech (intentional attacks on minorities) and even less as something to be tightened would go legislation. Such twitti fall every day, hundreds of them, just on facebook, and the same here and now in real life. The difference is only that the statement on the Web can be a bit more impersonal, light, distance, yet much more far-reaching, as it can (through ReTweet) reads more and more people.

Farah had to sincerely apologize and withdraw his request police. The government, both federal and provincial in New South Wales, is silent overnight, went to work other things. The Herald Sun has kept away by the campaign, but without Farahovega face and moral imperatives, and instead set the confessions of other public figures with you. "F list ', so various stars of reality shows, which should themselves suffered wonder woe on twitter, even though they are at the same time were able to carry on their promotion," Damian Murko style ".

Dear Member, Twitter has existed for over 7 years, this year is actually quite a lot of Slovenian users is celebrating its 3rd, 4th, 5th and some even or higher "birthday" on the network. Are doing just fine, this is because the service is available defenses spammom - unfollow, or. if it is really necessary to block. The need for judicial intervention khaki severe so no. If you really find, but we already have offenses against honor and reputation.
