[News] Respect to Katie Price

[Uncle Spielberg]

Respect to Katie Price for taking this to Parliament and a debate to get a change in the law with over 200 000 signatures. Good luck to the Girl. A very worthy thing

Taken a while but something good to come out of her career

I don't get this. She has done well. Very savvy business Woman. I think she is ok. Anyway that is a side issue

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

She is out of her comfort zone so respect, she has a very valid point though

 

[Mackenzie]

I think she spoke very well there.

She did. I think her love for Harvey is inpirational. She gets a bad rap but unfairly for me

She's right. Online activity needs to be governed by the same rules as the printed press.

People talk about 'free speech'. Defamation and humiliation of vulnerable (and in some cases not so vulnerable) people is not free speech. One should be protected by statute. The other outlawed on the basis of standards and values.

Good job Katie!

People have been charged and prosecuted for being racist online. I'm a bit surprised that those against Harvey aren't deemed to have been racist or anti-disability etc, so that they can be prosecuted.

I thought what she described may have come under malicious communication but I can see where a scuzzy lawyer could get someone off.

It's tough to legislate as there is no line in the sand.

If I call you a ****wit you'd just call me something equally derisive back. But such abuse on a regular basis could be damaging to vulnerable or bullied people.

It's a tough one. But present law is inadequate. Ultimately the shame is needing such laws in the first place.

Is it the law or the enforcement of it?

She isnt as dumb as (some) people think. It would break my heart if I was in the public eye and trolls were mocking my children on the internet. I wouldnt be responsible for my actions. Well done Katie and well spoken for a dumbo

 

[The Rivet]

I do support her defence of her son against obnoxious trolls but, respect her? No, simply no.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

I've always been fairly ambivalent about her, have developed some sort of sneaking respect for her, but admire what she's done here. Fair play!

 

[wellquickwoody]

Needs to be called 'Social Media Law'or such like.

 

[Giraffe]

I agree with what she is saying. I do think however that she had brought Harvey into the media world in the early stages a little unwisely. If she didn't put her personal life into media hands he would be less exposed to this. I accept though that that isn't his fault and therefore I am not justifying the bad behaviour, just wondering whether she regrets this.

Why does she get a bad rap for you?

 

[Bra]

Ive met Katie quite a bit recently since my other half does some stuff for her regularly. As youd expect she is a world away from her tv persona and to my surprise was really done to earth. I know how much she worries about Harvey and this is a worthwhile cause.

 

[Spicy]

The abuse Harvey has faced is appalling and Katie is right to speak out. I cannot comprehend why anyone would subject a child to such vile online abuse, and anyone doing so must be inadequate themselves in some way.
