Little twat insulting Tom Daley on twitter

[Aadam]

I agree about the freedom of speech. Surely if he'd received say 30 complaints then his account should be suspended until they review it. It took ages for them to close him down and that can't be right.

Try going onto twitter and typing to various celebs or other people "news.bbc.co.uk best www page there is. please RT". Send this to say 35 people and you'll be suspended somewhere between the 20th and 35th time I reckon. So don't understand why they can't do something that says xyz complaints and you're suspended. If it's freedom of speech issue, they'll just unsuspend the account again.

Yeah I understand your point, but I think that's too easy to abuse. You could get some of your mates to all report one person to get them suspended for no reason. Just too open for abuse. There needs to be better control, though.

Joey Barton has actually made some good points about this today, suggesting that getting the police involved was ridiculous because this kid would clearly never kill someone, and for the police to search through his [Barton's] timeline and arrest everyone threatening to kill him [Barton].

I'm sure Barton gets a lot of death threats and various other malicious messages.

I agree it is a very fine line. Particularly as twitter and facebook also had and has a part to play in the arab springs - so would not want censorship, etc. However, if I wrote someone an email and said I was going to find the receipiant and drown them, i'd expect to have a call from the police, so you can't just write whatever you want without consequences and matey is gonna find that out. I was watching the venom that came out of this little sh1ts fingers last night and just could not understand how I was suspended so quickly on twitter, yet he was allowed to carry on free to make more death threats. Just seems like somethings a bit mixed up.

I fully understand what I did wrong so am not against my punishment, but was just shocked that he could carry on as he willed.

Haven't read the whole thread but it looks like some are saying he has freedom of speech. If you look at his other tweets you'll notice he is a vile racist. That certainly isn't freedom of speech. The guy who racially abused Muamba has only just been released from jail so it wouldn't surprise me if this kid ended up there too.

Surely you have to treat public tweets in the same way as you would someone standing in the street shouting it...

Well, anyone of Twitters 500 Million users could see what he put and considering i would have thought there would have been thousands of complaints about what has been said - Police had to take action.

Also, the kid is actually from Weymouth, not actually on holiday. So he basically lives in a B&B.

SKY News: He has been released by police after given official warning.

Saaf Lundun surely - around Croydon somewhere.........................?

Weymouth, "bruv".

Yes, but some suggest it should be worse as its world wide and not just to the street but you'r right.

Released on bail as police are investigating what he has previously posted - what he said to Tom Daley has only been given a warning......which has pleased people......

Wow, the way he was talking I assumed he was a gangster from London. Wonder if he's on Hols with his parents? Would be hilarious if he was a middle-class boy from a suburb somewhere.

bloody knew it. They should throw him on the streets of London with no money or phone and see how far his attitude takes him.

He'd pussy out, drop him in hackney at night, no way would he start on anyone.

He was defending Tom Daley previously and gunning for Riley.

Maybe his medication has worn off.

I give up trying to understand how people work.

It takes a special kind of spotty little no-mark to plumb such depths in a feeble attempt to gain 15 minutes of their own in the spot light.

 

[KneeOn]

He only "apologised" after he realised he had Sky News on his back. He claimed he did not know that Daley's dad had died which is clearly crap but still did not apologise for the numerous hateful tweets that he had sent prior to the one above. Look him up on twitter and look back through his tweets over the last couple of days. You will have precisely NO sympathy with him if, as I hope, he's now facing the wrath of the internet.

I had no idea his dad died until this whole palava.

Daley's dad would be proud of that fantastic Bronze he got today!

We hurl all types of abuse at football matches and that is deemed acceptable.

What sets social media apart from the above?

I was hoping that went unnoticed. Not safe anywhere!
