Moderators hazelnut Posted October 27, 2014 Moderators Share Posted October 27, 2014 That article is specifically about Social Media platforms (Facebook/Twitter etc) which are totally different to ordinary forums.

Hav0c Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 Yes, the article is specifically about Social Media platforms and the law part is not just for social media platforms. The Lords committee was quite correct in that existing legislation can be applied to online acts. Part 1 of the Public Order Act 1986 covers abusive and threatening words and writing likely to cause distress. Parts 3 and 3A cover the dissemination of material aimed at stirring up racial, religious or sexual hatred. The Protection from Harassment Act 1997 includes online stalking. The Malicious Communications Act 1988, which is very broad in scope, sanctions sending grossly offensive, indecent, threatening or false electronic messages for the purposes of causing distress. And the Communications Act 2003, even wider in scope, sanctions the use of a public communications network for sending grossly offensive or menacing messages. Forums has Private messaging which can be abused as well... Every line of code written by man can be undone by man . "A loser in the real world is still a loser in the net!" - .hack//SIGN .
