So much for fun media

Possibly the most disturbing point made here is that people take these socail networks seriously! I mean really! How seriously can you take "join the wearwolf club" or "pass the hot potato"? If this is where people's concerns lie then we really are in a lot more trouble than simply people running parody sites.

Obviously a line should be drawn at some point. But I don't think it should be anywhere near this.

fake websites

banning would be the thin end of the wedge. The right to freedom of speech

should come first. All that would happen is this sort of stuff would still be published and worse Anonomusly.

The answer is the courts & in none third world countrys sueing for libel with

very large damages according to persons income,& damage caused

Let the sentence stand as a warning for posting fake websites

The sentence may have been harsh, but, I'm glad that they are finally starting to punish people who place fake, harmful posts, websites claiming to be someone else. The guy in Italy who got sentenced to two and a half years for posting nude photos and negative information about his ex-girlfriend is also a good idea.

There are too many "sick and twisted" individuals placing disgusting photos, and/or statments on a website to "get even" with an ex lover, boss, friend etc. And, unfortunately, plenty of morons around who will believe anything negative as long as it's not about them.

Make people accountable via jail time and court judgments and you'll see how quickly these photos and websites disappear.
