      XPost: 24hoursupport.helpdesk, alt.politics.scorched-earth, uk.politics.misc       XPost: uk.legal, alt.politics.uk       From: burfordTjustice@tues.uk              Muslim London Mayor Sets Up Task Force To Jail Those Who “Annoy” Muslims       Online              Muslims are obsessed with shutting down any criticism of Islam. It’s a good       first step to imposing Sharia on new lands. And they’ll pretend this is to       be applied broadly, but it will be used 90% of the time to protect Muslims, &       the other 10% to        protect other enemies of white, Christian conservatives, just like “hate       speech” and other such laws in the US and elsewhere are only used against       whites.              Excerpted from Breitbart: The office of London’s first Muslim mayor has       secured millions of pounds to fund a police “online hate crime hub” to       work in “partnership with social media providers” to criminalise       “trolls” who “target…        individuals and communities.”              The London mayor’s office for policing and crime (Mopac) will spend       £1,730,726 of taxpayer’s money policing speech online after applying for a       huge grant from the Home Office Police Innovation Fund (PIF), it was announced       in a statement.              “The purpose of this programme is to strengthen the police and community       response to this growing crime type” is was announced, and will “involv[e]       a dedicated police team” backed by “volunteers”.              The measures will be “delivered in partnership with social media       providers” who along with “specialist officers” will be “filtering and       identification of online hate crimes” and “identifying the location of the       crime and allocating to the        appropriate force…”              London’s Metropolitan police force said they welcomed the extra workload and       wished to encourage offended people to report perceived hate crimes in ever       increasing numbers.              “The Met encourages all victims of hate crime to report any incident to the       police and will make every effort to hold offenders to account and bring them       to justice.”              Convictions for crimes under Section 127 of the Communications Act of 2003, a       law increasingly used to prosecute “internet trolls”, have increased       ten-fold in a decade, official figures revealed in May last year. They showed       1,209 people were found        guilty of offences under the law, compared with 143 in 2004, according to the       Ministry of Justice.              The law criminalises “using [a] public electronic communications network in       order to cause annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety,” and can result       in a six-month prison term or fine of up to £5,000.              “Pure rants, very childish [people online] are increasingly criminalised,       and as a result of that the police is becoming more and more involved in       controlling our morality”, explained Frank Furedi, emeritus professor of       sociology at the University of        Kent, on BBC Radio 4 this morning.              Section 127 was the law used to prosecute James McConnell, the Northern Irish       Pastor charged with making “grossly offensive” remarks about Islam during       a sermon broadcast online in 2014.
