Internet trolls will face up to two years in prison
Internet abusers could face up to two years in prison under new laws. The new measures would also give police more time to collect enough evidence to enable successful prosecutions to be brought and magistrates could pass serious cases on to crown courts.
Internet abusers could face up to two years in prison under new laws. The new measures would also give police more time to collect enough evidence to enable successful prosecutions to be brought and magistrates could pass serious cases on to crown courts. Those who subject others to sexually offensive, verbally abusive or threatening material online are currently prosecuted in magistrates' courts with a maximum prison sentence of six months. This act, which does not apply to Scotland,states that it is an offence to send another person a letter or electronic communication that contains an indecent or grossly offensive message, a threat or information which is false and known or believed by the sender to be false.

Google will make some changes to its search engine in an attempt to curb online piracy. The announcement comes after the firm had been criticised for enabling people to find sites to download entertainment illegally.
Google will make some changes to its search engine in an attempt to curb online piracy. The announcement comes after the firm had been criticised for enabling people to find sites to download entertainment illegally. The entertainment industry has argued that illegal sites should be "demoted" in search results.The new measures will point users towards legal alternatives such as Spotify and Google Play but these will be adverts - meaning if legal sites want to appear there, they will need to pay Google for the placement.

Apple has announced a new version of its tablet, the iPad Air 2, which is the thinnest device of its kind on the market. It is just 6.1mm thick, and also gains a Touch ID fingerprint sensor. It has an anti-reflective coating on the screen for the first time, and a faster version of the processor featured in the firm's latest iPhones. An upgraded version of the company's smaller tablet - called the iPad Mini 3 - was also announced. Like its bigger sibling, it gets the company's fingerprint recognition component, but it uses the older A7 processor and has a lower-resolution rear camera.
