The unmasking of internet trolls: New laws will make websites responsible...
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...less-them.html
Cowardly internet ?trolls? who post vile abuse on Facebook and Twitter will be identified to their victims under laws unveiled today.
Justice Secretary Ken Clarke wants to strip away the cloak of anonymity which shields website users who peddle lies and vicious smears.
Internet companies will be expected to agree to rules over how to deal with libellous comments posted on their sites.
They will be told that ? provided they agree to hand over the identity of the abuser to their victim ? the internet company itself will be protected from legal action by the victim of abuse.
If they refuse, however, they could be hauled before the courts and fined thousands of pounds for the hateful comments, even though they were made by a visitor to their website.
Officials believe the prospect of protection from a defamation case will be enough of a ?carrot? for the likes of Twitter and Facebook to agree to the new regime.
It will finally help to bring to an end the injustice of victims being subject to sickening online abuse ? often from those they have never met ? with little chance of finding out who is responsible.Heath Reviewed by Heath on .

Either the politicians who proposed this don't understand that, or they do, and they're just passing this law so down the road they can say 'well we can't enforce it with out internet IDs' then pass a law forcing us to all have an internet ID.
I'm going to assume they are going to push for internet IDs, just because its already been talked about.SwitchLink #1 UK VPS Provider
