UK man first to be jailed for "trolling"
Sean Duffy of Reading, Berkshire has become the first man in the UK to be jailed for internet trolling.
Trolling, for those not familiar with the term, is the act of posting messages on social networking channels or emails to groups or individuals with the purpose of causing distress or inciting an angry response.
Basically, trolls are the anonymous bullies of the web.
Duffy was a particularly spiteful troll, targeting Facebook pages set up in rememberance of dead teenagers. Duffy in particular targeted the page dedicated to Natasha MacBryde, a 15 year old who took her own life by jumping in front of a train following a separate, unrelated spate of cyber-bullying. Duffy posted insults including calling MacBryde a “slut”, as well as creating an elaborate YouTube video that placed the teenager’s face onto a clip of kid’s TV show character Thomas the Tank Engine.
Duffy has been given an 18 week jail sentence. Needless to say, the internetz won’t miss him.

I am very glad to read this entire article. Excellent post. Fantastic. Very well written post
Hey there. Great looking site with real good info. Keep up the good work and make us proud! Very nice article. Thank you for the information.
He should have received an asswhipping along with that jail time.
I think what Duffy and Coss have highlighted is the fact I already knew. Trolls are fat, stupid piles of pig shite who have nothing better to do. The American/retard trolls constantly spew their pathetic crap about free speech. Free speech was NOT created so that a bunch of illiterate losers can post vile abuse to grieving families and CP. Get off your fat arses trolls, get off the dole and find jobs you worthless parasitic paedos.
Actually Duffy is NOT the first man to be jailed for trolling. The first was Colm Coss of Manchester who posted CP on RIP pages. Duffy and Coss are the first to feel the long arm of the law. Many more are to be arrested and prosecuted. Happy days ahead no more fat stupid twats on the www.
successful troll is successful
you will be missed
